I know new people come on here and just ask away, and I don't support being sharp particularly, but I think (and it's not totally surprising) he just got to the point of being fed up answering the same things. I think all he hoped for, was that people could make a little effort to do a search for instance, and as he pointed out, if the info was out there (on here) it would probably produce a quicker answer.
Yes he may be blunt, but in fairness, some people are just very straight to the point (unlike me
), but he did/does know his stuff and was very willing to give up some of his time to try to help people. I for one think it's a bloody shame if he is gone.

I see your point, to a point, but wouldn't you get a bit sick of the same old questions (fairly straightforward ones) being asked over and over when probably no attempt to look has been made?

The information that he gave me once witha boost issue was second to none. I think he enjoyed getting stuck into a problem that was not as straight forward as. "shall i get an induction kit". Some of the right ups that he did were very informative and you could learn alot.
He was blunt and some people found that offensive.

JonMC you're spot on!! He was arrogant with his knowledge and didn't need to answer the repetitive stuff but chose to anyway and was just down right rude to newer members or those who struggled to work the internet browser let alone fathom the crappy search engine out! Mechanics may have been one of his strong points but people skills was not!
