I talk with John almost daily and I don't think he is coming back. 

I also touch base regularly, and I don't think he's coming back either...

too bad, he put out a lot of good threads that others learned from...........

No kidding, Rob.  I learned a bunch from him (still do, whether it's his old posts or by email).

Bears can be elusive, you just need to know where to look!

I PM'ed him for a lot of help when I first started and he ALWAYS helped me out.  Hope he will reconsider and come back!!!

I have ever-note his post in case he comes back and deletes them all.They were his after all.I have seen were others have done this in old post.It was like they were never there.

It's a shame that a very knowledgeable and helpful person has stopped posting. I miss his posts and knowledge. I have learned so much from him, and need to learn more. I am extremely grateful for his input. When I first came to SMF I thought I had been smoking, but threw bear and others I learned I was doing it all wrong. I had to relearn my ways of smoking, and bear and few others took the time to explain what and where I was going wrong. I wouldn't be the smoker I am today if it wasn't for Bear and a few others. I sure hope he reconsiders and returns as it is a HUGE loss to loose his knowledge, and wisdom. I do my best to provide info to those in need of help. It took me a long time before I felt I was worthy of providing help. I am nowhere near as educated as bear on smoking, he has most likely forgot more then I know. I remember when all this happened, I do not know all the details, therefor I said nothing. I figured it would all blow over, and every thing would return to normal. It deeply saddens me that someone of his knowledge and wisdom is no longer posting.

 I just found this thread. Don't know how I missed it till now.

 Bear, whenever I see your avatar I always read what you post. I have learned so much from you and this forum about smoking meat, but just as important to me was the knowledge of food safety that you are such a proponent of. I value what I have learned from you and I want to keep on learning.

Congratulations on the milestone. I would love to read post # 18,000 in a couple of years.  

Thank you very much for your contribution.

Maybe those of you that keep in contact with him can let him know he has fans waiting for him to return. Plus you can't have "Bear View" without a Bear to view it and changing the name to something like "Nuts View" might give folks the wrong idea.

I spotted bear, Google is my friend... that critter had crawled on the other side of the tracks!

I was wondering when someone would figure that out 

 

[alelover]

I just didn't say nothing. Didn't want to start anything.

You could always try using Q-view, like we've been doing for years.
