Lee might well be a stand up guy and I know some of you have a lot of time for him but on two occasions I have PM'd him I have had problems. The first time was in my early days on here, so probably Autumn last year, after not receiving a reply for days I posted a thread saying something like "Anyone heard from R35 Lee?" I was subsequently bombarded by the "R35 Lee Appreciation Society" telling me what a busy guy he was and he's a great bloke, blimey all I did was ask if anyone had heard from him
The second time was regarding some auto window switches, to this day I have not had a reply.
On a third occasion I was successful and Matt Bowey kindly helped out organised the part for Wales.
My points are thus:-
If you want to help people help them
If you are too busy then tell people you can't as no response only leads to frustration, it's like sitiing on a broken down train and the guard not telling you anything. I think it might have been a good idea, recently, to have said something like "I'm not going to be around for a while because of pressures of work guys". Fair enough, no problem, but I suspect Lee didn't want to be seen to be letting people down.
I think one of the biggest problems is that this Fourm is quite unique in the way it helps others so quickly, so when "normal service" is not offered then people will complain.
This is not a snipe at Lee but merely my real experiences and for what it's worth I hope it helps. May peace prevail.
I can definitely vouch for that..God knows how many times Lee have done that for me in the past i remembered he help me sort out my BOSE head unit(after i had f**ked up the ipod tape deck mod) in the rain on his driveway one evening and didn't even charged me for hours of labour.
Hope you are well mate..guess you just can't please everyone..good to see u back on here Hope you are not working too hard.
