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.
to which point he was obviously hypocritical then as well.....

one time, he climbed up on his soap box and verbally chastised me for posting a wiring diagram of some sort (which I gave credit for). Told me it was ok to post a link to it for someone but wasn't okay to actually post it. Professed to be someone very involved and sensitive to ensuring original authors got credit (which they did). Hmmm.....

Absolutely, for some time I've just gone under the assumption LB was one in the same.... Writing styles and "authoritative" tones are too similar - especially w/ all the professed "factual" and/or "helpful" posts.

In the end..... guess it's really a tribute to Rich for having the 986forum and us for posting on such a great board. It's a testimonial to what a great place this as someone who was so heavily chastised / ridiculed/ whatever.... went to such an extent to create new identity just to be able to post here freely. To that end, thanks Rich!
