Any one heard from Bob S aka Moneyguy1?

I was going through some old posts, looking for the UPM kiss pictures...but I digress

I ran across some posts in there by Bob. Anyone heard from him? I know he dropped out after his wife died. Joe A? Anyone else?

Bob is fine. I exchange emails with him occasionally. He will not likely return to this BBS.

Anybody who has contact with him say Hey for me. I do wish he would return as he offered good solid advice. I always didn't agree with him nor he with me, but that is OK. He kept me on my toes. I had to back up my point of view with an explaination.

Also tell him that he is going to be needed on this Board to add his sage advice, we are going to need it in the coming times.

He is/was a voice of sanity. I too did not agree with him much of the time, but I respect(ed) him.

Bob is doing fine and getting ready for fall/winter/spring projects now that the heat has broken here in Arizona. I email with him every week or two...

He is just getting very tired, as are several of us, of the crap going on here on the board and decided to leave. Whether or not he will return is a good question. Last time the issue came up his comments were not positive at all.

Tabs, do you want his direct email address?

I miss him too... not enough of the"middle of the road" type people post here.

Possably that is why he left? When you take the middle you get pounded from both sides.

Not without inappropriately posting outside the religion & politics section. Let it suffice to say that Bob and I hold the same views.
