So I gather that this person known as Big Stick was once a contributing, useful, and valuable member of this forum?


He was. Part of the reason, I think, was the sheer number of people that wanted to call BS on every post that he replied to or started. Lots tried to one up him, and failed because they did not have the experience that he has. That did not keep them from trying so he got to giving smart azz replies. That soon got to be a habit that he enjoyed. Then there were some personal issues. At least that is my take. I would not hesitate to ask his advice and would listen real close. miles


Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.
