FYI to forum members... Lee (MadALwx) has decided to delete his account and leave the forum. Personally, I am sad to see him go, but understand his frustrations and reasoning.

Good Luck to you Lee!

   That is really sad news!  I wish him well for the future and hope he may be able to return some time in the future.

Have I missed something?

I'm really sorry to hear this because Lee have helped me allot and I think this is a loss for this forum.

I can only hope that he will change his mind and join again.

If not, good luck to you Lee and take care.

I am also shocked at this.  I was not aware of his dis-satisfaction here.  I hope the best for him.  He was a good benefit to me and the forum.  He will be missed.

Sorry to see him go.  I'm relatively new here, but I believe Lee was one of the first I conversed with on this board.   Very nice individual.  He's a lost to this board.  Hopefully he rethinks his decision.

 I did notice his activity did drop off. When he did post he seemed to have more of an attitude which was in stark contrast to when he joined.
Sad to see him leave but people come and go all the time.

Ocala,

I tend to cut Lee some slack. There are others I don't.

I heard from him tonight and there are multiple issues that caused him to make his decision.
I'm sure he'll stay in touch.

George, can I assume that Lee has ALS? Based on the web link you posted, it appears that may be the case. I had a very close friend who had ALS. It is a very cruel disease. I wish him and his family well and will place him on our prayer scroll at church. So sad...

Definitely will be a void in his absence!
After paying closer attention to the medical condition that
he suffers from I have a better understanding all around.

Hopefully he will stay in touch in some form or another as his information and advice was valued by many.
Every one is important in their own right here and I hate to see any one leave!

All The Best Lee !  And Thanks for all the informative postings!

Ditto!!

Oddly this reminds me I still have not had the chance to do any work on my space weather page.  That was an interest both of us shared and Lee provided me with a bunch of useful links awhile back in the forum.

Ken - saratogawx,

Now that Lee has deleted his account (MadAlWx) does that mean that all of his postings are gone too? It appears that is the case as I can't find anything he had posted in the past. If that is the case, it is a real loss of some good information in the discussions he participated in. Are his PMs gone also?

Don, I see Lee's postings still in the "Lightning detector experiences so far" thread but now he's Blackjack52 as a guest.

Yes it does.

He promised to keep me updated on my "upstream weather" when it gets bad so that was really nice.
Sometimes there are more important things in life to deal with than weather forums.

And anyone with ALS should certainly have the free right to try medical marijuana if conventional medicine isn't helping much.
