Shopsmith Forums

I'll be checking out after this post. I'll check back in occasionally for a while. If the general nature of this forum does not improve there will be no reason to return.

This will be a real loss for me because the forum, until just recently, has been tremendous therapy ever since I first joined.

Dusty,

I am disappointed but not surprised by your decision as I also feel the forum has recently gone downhill. Your decision will only make matters worse and accelerate the demise of the forum for those of us who remain for a while longer.

In the event you check back in, thanks for your many posts sharing your techniques, improvements and inventions, several of which I have copied or adapted for my own use and which have made using my Shopsmith a better experience.

Take care,

Al

Dusty,

I too am sorry to hear that you will be absent; but also understand you reasoning.

Best regards,

Jack

Hi Dusty,

I too understand why you feel the need to do so. I've already lowered my presents here and for the same reasons.

In a movement of solidarity I too will check out after this post.

Same terms as you stated.

Ed,

Thanks for your many contributions, too.

In the span of a couple of hours we have lost our No. 2 and No. 4 contributors, in terms of number of posts.

I hate to see this happen. I have seen it so many times on forums.

Yes or no. Someone just say so

Is it me? If so, I will bow out.

This is very disappointing. I was so excited to find this active forum, knowing I would have experienced SS users to turn to.

I haven't been here long enough to understand why people are leaving, but I hope things change in a way that brings them back.

Not much I can say without possibly setting others off, but I will say ANYone who leaves will be missed!
