He was very verbose, and was always quick to post helpful technical information. Just don't confuse posting technical info with knowledge... he was caught several times cut-n-pasting long descriptions as if he wrote them, just to find that he had simply copied them from some website or document. One example that sticks out in my mind was a thread about torque and horsepower. He posted a well-written explanation, but then I did a quick web search and found the web site he had copied it from. IIRC, he claimed to be a writer of some sort, but stealing someone else's writings without giving them credit would be a huge no-no with a writer.
Oh well... google is your friend.
