I haven't seen any posts by him for over 2 weeks. What's goin' on?
So who am I going to argue with now.....you ?
Well tango, in the name of all that is holy, please set me straight. What untruths am I guilty of?
:confused:
....well I miss him :(....
He was sent to time out for 2 days around then but has not yet returned.Quote:

I've been a member of this forum for a few years now and have yet to see one post by Tech or Denny that wasn't right on the money. We all have our opinions as to how some problem should be addressed, and they may be different from another person's solution, but that doesn't make it wrong. There have been times I have given some advice and had it countered by someone else, that is just how it goes in this hobby..........everybody is an "expert" (:D )
It became apparent to me early on that there were some members of this forum whose advice came from real, hands on experience. On issues like engine building and subjects like that I always defer to their superior knowledge. Denny was one of those people as is Richard (Tech). They know their stuff and freely give assistance from their heart to try to help people out. There is no personal gain for them to do these acts of kindness, simply the satisfaction of knowing they have kept someone out of trouble or saved them some money.
I too hope Denny returns. I know he gets a little upset sometimes, but hell, so do the rest of us, including me. But there is no denying he has enriched this forum for a long time, as has Richard and many other members.

By this I assume you refer to the alternative site you and Denny are responsible for.Quote:

That being said if those who join over there do so of their own volition that's the the way the world turns.
This site started from nothing over 7 years ago. Through the efforts of a few pioneers it built to a thriving level. It has survived the defection of a goodly number of people, some who contributed value, some who didn't. No single person will make or break a site (well other than the one who is responsible for maintaining a stable and functional platform). It did well before Denny joined, it can, and should, after his departure. Again if Denny decides to return fine, otherwise others will step in to fill whatever gap is left, if any. Either way may he live well.
Well stated....and I agree completely.Quote:

If it were traitorous to belong to more than one site, then I would have been dead along time now. Denny is currently on another site (or more) and thus far he must be enjoying his time there, otherwise I am sure he would be back here.
I started out on another site, one that may not be known by many here, although several here have recently joined over there too. I still visit there periodically. I have found that I, as well as many others, have enough depth that we can spread good words to others at different sites. It helps broaden the knowledge and ability of many in this hobby.
If Denny were to return here, I would certainly welcome it. If not, I will talk with him elsewhere.:D
Yep, I am on about 5 forums altogether, ranging from rat rods to T buckets, and enjoy every one of them. Some of the guys on those forums cross over to other forums and some do not, but I consider most of them good friends even though we probably will never get to meet one another in person. I even lurk on one that I will probably never post on. :D
It is no different from life, we all have different groups of friends we socialize with, but it doesn't mean we are being disloyal to the others by having a separate group of friends elsewhere.

Up till a couple of weeks ago, I had never logged in without DennyW being on the site....he must have stayed logged in 24/7. When he left, I thought my monitor had broken.
I must be in the twilight zone, there is more to this world than CHR and Denny?? I dont have time for another board, hell just found this one a few months ago.
You also spoke the exact words I was thinking of, well said Don, sincerely Joel J.Quote:

Dont know if I would go that far about Tech but I definitely trust his word. I dont think he would post on something he did not know about.Quote:

Forums are like everyday life theres the good and bad in people .People who are a-holes sometime and people who are a-holes all the time with nothing better to do with their time but point fingers and try their damnest to prove you wrong.
Denny and Tech are the real deal. Yeah sometimes they crossed each other paths, but I love each of 'em anyways, and am glad they are here. Tech was gone for a while; I hope Denny comes back.

^^^ second that emotion...

Denny has helped me a lot, as have others here.Heck!..... You are all great! Can't believe how much I learn by just lurking on the site. Of all the sites I visit, or used to, this one is TOPS. Now all I have to do is figure out how to remember half of it.
I enjoy this site plus a few others but I hang out here the most. For me at least this site is the most humorists. I like Denny's humor, and would like to see him come back. You can't take hot rodding to serious when your busting your knuckles, and finding new bad words that you can make up when you bump your head under the hood.

There has been some very good information given out in this forum by several knowledgeable contributors. And I appreciate that these people take the time to post this info. Tech is one of these, as is Bob Parmenter among others. So don't bash the help guys! If you don't have something constructive to post, then don't. I hope that Tech and others continue to post their replies so that those of us that need help can benefit. Geez
wow! i dont even have a dog in this hunt and my posts get deleted WTH!!, im a lil PO/ed now , somebody needs to let me know when the really juicy stuff goes down .. denny will eventually come back , i dont see any big deal most of us have ditched this joint once or twice before and always come on back , im not gonna name names or point fingers , myself included..
come on back denny we will leave the light on for ya!:D
That would be my fault late last night as I meant to hit delete of a spam post (we get roughly 10-20 in a given 24 hour period) and with the 9 or so multiple windows open, deleted your post by accident.......I humbly apologize, as I was unsure what post in which window got the axe, sadly in this case it was yours........Quote:

I get a bit of time to come on here and find that a LOT of new members that post a lot (sometimes maybe a little too much) have joined and Denny is no longer here and Tech might be mad?
I have nothing against them. Denny has helped me heaps, Tech has helped me heaps as well. If you have nothing good to say, dont say it at all. BTW, I cannot stand.... just kidding! :D
