Sad day, in my opinion, for our forum

[Skychief]

Longtime contributor and mentor to many here, Spence, has decided to no longer participate on the forum. Wanted to share that he is well, in case any might wonder due to his lack of posting.

Irreplaceable.

If you should see this Spence, fair well friend and stay in touch, Skychief.

His wisdom and informative leads will surley be missed, Any particular reason why the decision to leave.

Sad. He was and is a wealth of experience.

Curious as to why he made this decision.

This is surely a loss for us and this forum. I will miss his commentary and good, solid historical information.

He has slowed down his info sharing for the last year or more. Good luck spence as many have said in this post and your other posts where you have expressed.......

Yes, but its not for me to share.

 

[Eutycus]

Did he say as to why?

 

[Britsmoothy]

I consider Spence a good friend of mine. It may not be reciprocating but he is to me.
Spence inspired me many many years ago to take up muzzleloading, so it's all his fault anyway.....lol.
He turned many a notion on its head that always made me smile.
Take care Spence

[Kansas Jake]

His wisdom and even manner will be missed. I hope pops in from time to time.

Agreed.
I've probably learned more from Spence, both on this and a couple other forums over the years and on his website,,, than any other individual person regarding muzzleloading and recreating/reliving history.

He gave many hints over quite a bit of time as to the reasons that would eventually lead to his not participating here anymore.

He is a good man.

I must say that the forums have gone down hill since I joined, to most the history of the gun does not exit only a flintlock rifle.

I got a lot from Spence over the years. Sure wish I had his search techniques. All the best Spence, God bless.

Now that I can agree on

Sad news. He offered a lot of source content, not mere conjecture. His knowledge base will be sorely missed.

 

[smoothshooter]

I always read his posts and enjoyed them immensely.

 

[longcruise]

Is his website still up?

 

[tenngun]

Will miss his post
Sad to hear
