    Maybe he got sick of repeating himself again and again telling people to do his Quick Test?

        More likely a family issue.
        I believe he moved to AZ to be near his aging mom.
        Whatever the reason, come back Jim!

          Yeah, mostly Vortex related.

          I'm glad he's with family. It's more important than being here...no offense.

              You guys seemed to butt heads on stator temperature causing the engine to run hotter or not. The back n forth was entertaining!
              Last time I mingled electrical, I was sent to a deeper hole, I was supposed dig myself out of, because I questioned the word "should".

              I appreciate his knowledge electrical, as mine is lacking, so I learned some stuff, regardless of the member battles.
              Hope the family issues, if any are managable.

                Never felt the the need to go into the vortex no intention in the future either.

                    Meh, you make it sound so terrible.

                    The world has its fair share of wicked people. You just have to avoid confrontation...to the ones who seem to enjoy it. Figuring it out requires immersion.

                      Well put. Socially dysfunctional trolls with personal agendas and toxic attitudes have no place in a civil conversation group. I try not to step in dogsh!t too.

                        Vortex is fine. I can tune in, tune out, whatever suits my mood. It doesn't upset or bother me.

                        I had noticed Posplayr's absence and hope all is well.

                            I used to get annoyed at the political and religious crap on that thread until I asked the administrator to block it for me. So much better now. Plus I can check the new posts and not have to sort through all the non motorcycle related topics. Dar.
