The loss of C'ptn Guppy

I am sad about this ban. I have no idea what this wise old aviator could have said to have deserved such a banishment. I agree with Stiknruda above, post 14.

"His posts were verbose but generally contained useful info,especially IMHO for the low houred poster whom he seemed to go out of his way to help."

I shall always remember his perceptive and sensitive response in post no 12 of my Tech Log query "Overspeeding Prop" July 2009. I was grateful for the technical info he took some pains to explain to a simple SEL type like me, but he then combined this with a warmth and courtesy which stood out from the arrogance and vituperation which, sadly, some posters employ towards 'newbies'.

It's a shame.

PS It wasn't something relating to the late 411A - was it??
