I fully understand the offer of Raging Bull..
Dave has helped out, often aty his own cost so many on these forums and elsewhere foe many yrs.
One just has to go back over old threads to see just a few of them.
Hes has been a man who is the 1st to step up with a spare part or good solid information on how too.
Then falls on hard times..
So here is a good bugga thru want, embarrassment , dunno .. but in many way I understand his withdrawal..
Dave is also the type of gut, when things get tough, doesnt stash egg nests away in hidden trusts accounts and stuff.. which is where 'nice guys' 'go wrong' and go down the tubes totally....
yet still get the SAME flack.
I think RB, and many others.. (the silent majority, who we often see in real life , and private communication) sees Dave in the same or similar light.
So when RB comes up with such an offer, in effect to pay off any of Daves 'debts' to forum members, and get turned down..yet still want to pursue the debit..
For far more than one reason, I think it is way unfair on a VERY good bugga hitting bad times.
PS Im not sure if have ever met RB personally, Only know from reputation think have seen him (think was him) hang a marlin from a tree to weigh thu..
