Good news Spykster even if I don't know who you are. Did you post here in the past? I already said my congrats to archer but here they are again!
FYI and others who do not know Spykster, Gary used to live in the Shaffers Crossing area and then because he was sick, he moved to Longmont. He was a First Responder with the NY City Fire Department.
He was a very passionate poster, somewhat like Bailey Boy in temper and style and ended up in a very heated argument with Dummy Up. As a result, Dummy Up posted a nasty poll about him and Gary stopped posting on 285Bound in anger, though there were many who responded to his posts. He has since spent 5 months in the hospital, and since he was a prolific poster, I thought that those who did know of him would be interested in his recovery. I, personally have been hoping that he will come back to 285Bound.
Just to make sure the record is reasonably straight. Spykster had issues with Dummy ups poll, but requested that we restrict or ban certain posters,we refused to do so. We suggested that he get his own site. He then asked to be removed from 285bound.. He is welcome and can always ask to be re-instated , which I am sure would happen. It is great news that he is doing better. Nothing but the best wishes .
Thanks for the clarification. I was aware that he left, but I didn't know why. Sounds like a great time for a new beginning in more ways than one. Also, a great reminder that there is an ignore button and sometimes it's a good idea to use it. However, the biggest reminder might be that we need to use more compassion and consideration when posting.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
