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!

I love this thread

I think, moving forward if the admin saw a post in regards of asking about MNBoxster, it should be locked right away before we turn it into another "end of the week" entertainment

p/l = I finally use the griots on the truck that I bought who've never seen a garage or carport....WOW is the word!

Ok...don't mean to hijack this thread. i just want to throw some ice before it get heated up and get locked

"Hi Frodo, I respect what you are saying. I don't necessarily agree, though, and agreement is not really important in this case. I think if you knew the whole story, you might have a different opinion.

I may send you a PM that will prove helpful and informative."

I would welcome that. (Enlightenment is a good thing.)

I am sort of a 'tweener, having been aboard for a good while but nowhere near as long as some folks. I overlapped with MNBox for 6 months or so. Without going back and reading ALL his posts, I don't recall that many controversial ones other than the now-infamous Water Wetter thread. (There may have been some---my memory is no longer quite as good as you folks in your 20's, 30's and 40's.)

And I won't be going back and systematically reading his posts from before I joined. Not enough hours in the day for that.

But a Cliff's Notes version would be welcome. A brief synopsis (with links, if appropriate) I would read. Maybe I'll change my mind.

If we had a Hall of Fame, MNBoxster would have a place in it. It's incredible how one individual, no longer a regular poster mind you, can create such an emotional response.

Unless someone has a specific beef w/ Lil Bastard - I suggest we welcome him with "open arms".

Everyone have a great weekend, drive safely. Me I have some wrenching to do.
