Joe was kicked off due to some users thinking he was getting aggressive (I am not acerting an opinion on this just the facts as I know them) in his posts, personally I found his info very helpful.

Yeah, I found him handy in a BenR kind of way. And definitely not aggressive. If anyone says he is aggressive Ill break their cyber-legs with my virtual baseball bat. Huh, aggressive....

 

[paddymph]

[BenR]

He doesnt reply to emails anymore.

 

[Kelly]

I met him - he was a nice bloke and always helpful to me on here too

 

[rt172]

His webspace is still up and running! Seems to be into aeroplanes now....maybe thats where the turbo went in the end....

 

[BenR]

Wonder if he is on any other forums?
