Les, first off: I appreciate the fact that you are still here.
Would it be possible to give us a list how much is still in the pipeline? You might understand that it is extremly hard to believe that there is still happening something on your side. You are actually hiding and - no offense to the mods - people have almost no chance to critizice this because mods will lock up every thread. People would feel more comfortable if you finally restart communication. To be completly honest: most of the guys who are waiting for their stuff dont care about your private issues anymore. Those long posts yougive us from time to time would be more benefitial if they were filled with updates instead of personal issues. This is not ment offensive but more an attempt to explain my request with a limited amount of words in a foreign language for me.
For example: how many commissions have been finished and delivered to board members in the last 3-4 months?
I honestly believe this would lead to something and as mentioned before Id be willing to help.
For example Id be willing to handle the contact to the customers. While I can understand everyone who is mad at Les, I can also understand Les feeling less motivated by insulting mails. We could create a new mail address people could send their requests to, and I will do a Q&A with Les once in a month. This way he gets all the questions at once from a neutral guy without any harm. Also we can create a order list just to see how hughe the bed of horror is...
BTW: the reason why this is a Les-loving-board, is because he is still here and is not doing a Howes. Because ofthis we should feel motivated to help him to get out of that ____. Granted, we can not paint, but we might help to organize the communication, the order list, and maybe even a schedule. Les has been a great guy for years and I am pretty sure he still is. He just went straight when there was a corner... Mistakes do happen.
