I miss his wit and knowledge. Last time I remember him here he was in a flaming match with someone who didn't read much and wanted the answers given to them. I bet he's reading

That sounds funny to me, speaking figuratively of course

Does this include when you're lurking and not posting? Because if it does, that seems like a awful long time. It wouldn't seem right not seeing a post in almost two months.


Maybe he got married

He hasn't been around since a few days after our little brake thread....

He had a ton of useful info, but some rather strange concepts about certain things... we agreed for the most part and everything we didn't agree on was simply a difference in opinion, but his "you don't need rear brakes" posts just couldn't be ignored and I had to say what I said. If that ran him off, then my apologies to him for being thin-skinned... but you simply can't tell a forum of several thousand people that it's okay to disable your rear brakes because rally drivers don't use them (when in fact they use them more than the fronts)..

Anyway, I'd like to see him back.. I like picking and nagging at him over trivial things.

I never understood why the guy never tried to improve his translator program or what ever it was that had made it a mission to comprehend each of his posts. There were others like Phatsta from the same part of the world, and spoke just fine with his own type of translator. After I tried helping Wiking out about it(since his info was good, but not his english) all I got was an obnoxious, childish, hard headed reply one after another.

He wasn't using a translation program. that was just his English...

I could never understand the guy although I think that there was nothing wrong with his english...99% of his replies were very short and very weird I hope he sticks around though-he seems like a guy who knows a few things about electronics...and it will a shame if he gave up on the org just because of a small arguement...

Well than, can't blame him for trying. I think I still remembering him saying something about his translator. Maybe just my imagination.

his comments weren't exactly hard to understand, you just had to think about what he said and interpret some of the language barrier.

Then again, his english and grammar were better than half the idjits that were born here.

At first I was like WTF are you taking about, until I remember what I wrote. One mistake, that should be 5 times not 3. Candyman was a movie back in the early 90's of a killer who would appear out of no where if you said his name 5 times. Two other sequels were made after the original




Now back to Wiking

Yeah, I was wondering about him too. As for his english skills, cut the man some slack. How many people here would bother going to a foreign language forum and fully participating in the discussion?? I missed the brake thread, so I dont know what was said, but maybe he took things the wrong way. I'm just sayin'.
