That IS strange. I haven't a clue as to why he wouldn't answer the phone if he's always answered it before. If you want to pass it along to me, I can try it here stateside and see if it works. If so, I will relay to him that you tried to get in touch. But that's ONLY if you want to. I'm not asking for his number, mind you, I'm just willing to try to reach out to him for you.

I don't really know what happened with Rick, Martin. It seems that whoever took over as administrator had some issues with some of his posts and wanted him to remove them, from what I've been told by a couple of other members. Apparently he refused and got banned. You might check with NitroPT or HandyCruiser as both Lynn and Todd seem to have more knowledge about this forum than most of us. Other than that, I have no idea what happened. And it pisses me off, because I really liked Rick and felt he made some very good contributions to this forum. Let me know if you find out anything different from the "rumors" I've been told. Thanks.

I just accepted chuzz.

I sent you a friend request. Accept it and we can have a conversation about a missing member, okay?
