Many of you may have noticed the absence of Wayfinder in recent weeks. It appears that he has deleted all of his many postings and has withdrawn from CBN participation.

I recently hooked up with Wayfinder over at Handmade Music Clubhouse. He is still very much into building and testing cigar box designs, but for reasons of his own, decided to leave CBN.

He did ask that I pass along his apology for omitting many of his interesting test findings. Unfortunately, he did not retain personal copies of these postings, so is unable to pass them along for those that found them interesting and useful.

It is unfortunate that Wayfinder found it necessary to leave the site as he was (for me at least) one of the most interesting posters on the building forum. I understand that on an unmonitored board, there is always the chance that conflicts, disagreements and misunderstandings can arise between posters of radically diverse backgrounds and cultures. As a result, good people, from time to time, take their experience and wisdom and leave. When they do, we all lose.

So, for me the lesson is simple-->As Ellen says "Be kind to one another."

Eric is right about using your actual picture, and I use my actual name, not a nickname. I found Wayfinder an interesting person, with some peculiar ideas, but never disliked him. I hope I was not part of the issues that led him to leave suddenly. If so,and you are reading this, please accept my apology, WF. 

That being said, a forum where the only input is "cool," "neat," "good job," etc. is not really very useful to explore ideas, explode myths, and become better builders and musicians. If I say something, someone can always challenge me or ask for clarification. 

No one has any idea what a person's personal situation is, how they are feeling emotionally, and so on. And on the internet, really, so what if my feelings are hurt or I bend you out of joint over something that was only words on a screen? If my brilliant idea is really far from it, I am better for someone discussing it with me. If it is so important to me that I actually get hurt emotions when said idea gets correctly challenged, it was probably a very bad idea in the first place, and I should seek counseling for the real issues I may have. :)

I belong to a group where the only rule is 'don't be an arse..that's enough init?
