Where's the Dog

I guess by now a lot of members would have noticed that the Dog is MIA.

I also guess that it is the result of a fracas between him and other members about his attitude on the board along with some intervention from the mods.

Whilst I have to acknowledge that SD and I had our differences, there is no doubt that he was a wonderful resource especially for the people who, ironically, he was most ascerbic with, the newcomers.

The extent of his contribution (even though I often thought a lot of it was recently acquired (the wonders of Google) will be missed. I used to be able to post stuff that I needed to know and I could depend on SD to do the research and come up with the goods.

Now I have do my own research:(

"Alas! poor Dog. I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy..."

I can see The Dog now. In front of his computer...

To post, or not to post, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (and ungodly Rep Power),
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To logoff, to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To logoff, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream (or sail!) - ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of electronic silence what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this Internet coil,
Must give us pause - there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.

WOW...45 posts regarding SD being missed says lots about the man! I concurr...he is one of he most knowledgable and friendly people around. I'm kind of glad he's busy and not commenting. It's saving me cash! He basically outfitted my boat [anchor, rodes, radar, chartplotter, etc] and then came down and helped me figure out the Nano-station he recommended...Man, he did it out of friendliness and never considered taking my offered payment! And just as has been stated, the man is likely busy.
