He was very verbose, and was always quick to post helpful technical information.

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.
