Ralph, what a darling you are.

I do not need any financial help, I started this forum with knowledge of all the financial obligations,?

and will continue with the help of "hello" posts from all my friends all over the world.

You will notice that there should be NO advertisements or propagande when you click onto this forum.

Try this with facebook twitter etc etc.

Again Ralph

I am sorry that the total ELS and now RELS has been pulled from the digitalhobbyist forum.

My latest RELS is so perfect?that I will never stray away.

It is all down to Richard? UK to decide if he wants to reply. I very much doubt it and so we are in

an impasse, He was the inventor, the guru. the absolute British lecky scientist and a fabulous machinist.

Without his pure genius, then it's best to pull the digitalhobbyist plug and save me $150 per year

I have it all, RELS, CNC 4 axis mill, 3D printing, so what more do I need.???

Certainly not armchair engineers.

So sorry.

I've been following this group for some time now and am looking for a ELS for my small lathe.

There was a post from John that he was finishing a few kits and making them available when completed.

I sent him a reply that I would like to have one and got a reply saying I would be on his list to get one when they were completed.

It's been some time now but have not gotten any word if they are done.

I want to install a two axis unit so I can do threading.

Does anyone know if the ELS units have completed?

?Thanks Will

Ralph,

I am going by John's original post, which said:

30 days of no posts even hello will drop you out.

Perhaps he will reconsider...

All I am asking is just a "hello" from forum members of 260+?

Nothing more or nothing less, if members?cannot be bothered to respond with a simple "hello"?

then they have either passed on, or have not been interested in any of the large range of digitalhobbyist topics.

I do not think there is a more diversified forum for digital hobbyists than this one.?

The last meaningful post was by me in April 2021,?we were?receiving over 50 posts per month in?the?heyday

and I do not think blaming the?Covid pandemic has any relevance,?in fact most of us being in some kind of?

"Lockdown" over the past year should have meant possibly more time on our hands to be hobbyists. and

hit the?computer keyboard with questions and answers.

Gene, you have responded "fantastic", and I appreciate it very much.

I am just trying to get a reality check on whether we continue with the forum or it goes the way?

many other forum groups go and that is down the pan through?apathy ?

It would be a pity to pull the plug, I do not want to do this, but again just a simple hello, or even suggestions on how

to improve this forum or anything.??

All?the best to fellow hobbyists.

I found and joined this group because the topics being discussed are interesting to me.
I am just learning from the knowledgeable people here and very rarely comment,
because I don't feel like I have something valuable to contribute.

Now I'm hearing that 30 days without posting will get one kicked out from this group.
To be honest, this sounds rather outrageous to me. Many internet forums or discussion groups are owned/operated by a single individual or a small group,
so it's natural that some of them will enforce some kind of rules that make sense to them. These rules are usually clearly listed when you register on the forum.
But so far I haven't participated in an internet community where you are suddenly told that not posting will get you kicked out.

I wish JimJohn was just grumpy, and didn't really mean it?

Wish everyone well, in case I will be kicked out after this post :)
Cheers

Goodbye. I don't need 3000 emails per year saying "hello".

That's what 260+ members posting once every 30 days means.

“and I do not think blaming the?Covid pandemic has any relevance,?in fact most of us being in some kind of?

"Lockdown" over the past year should have meant possibly more time on our hands to be hobbyists."

?

?

Just because that is YOUR experience, does not make it everyone’s experience. {And yes a realize you are not exactly saying that it is}

Personally, I was considered “essential” and as a result had 0 “down” time due to covid, AND have had both knees replaced (one at a time) during the pandemic.

I have had almost 0 shop time since it started.

?

On the other hand, I think you are somewhat correct, in what I believe to be your intent.

A forum like this withers and dies if there are no relevant posts, but a flood of “hello” every X days ?would not really stop that.

Such posts are like weeds in the garden, but at least they are not spam and scam.
