I've noticed, and posted that question in 2 threads he would have been especially interested in, it has been well over a week with no posts that I can tell.
Dave is a senior citizen never afraid to express his opinion. To see him off this forum, I can only guess that he may be ill. While we may have disagreed at times he was knowledgeable and over the years, offered some very good suggestions and advise about Fieros. IF Dave is ill I wish him all the best for a complete and quick recovery.

I believe that many of our members are 'senior citizens' including ME and I bet that all of us hope he is 'okay'.
theogre and I have a few things in common: *Both of us are stroke survivors; mine was 'bizarre' lacking any heath issues. *Both of us 'lost' a hand and we are 'one-hand' mechanics; I lost one hand in the stroke. *And both of us have an 'odd' personality........
Yes, we disagreed at times, but I too hope the best that he will be back on the forum soon!
I have had no response to my email yet. I checked my log files and his last post appears to be from July 28th (2024).
I have a very old address from him (2009) in ---------, --. If there's anyone here from --------- (or thereabouts), shoot me a PM and perhaps we can do a local check?
If we knew Dave's last name a search would be easier. Its not like him to go this many days without posting.

I have all his info now (name, his current address and a possible phone number). For obvious reasons I will not post that here. Maybe strange thing to do, but I checked local obituaries and he wasn't on them. The address I found in ------------ is indeed his current address. So anyone in or near ------------, shoot me a PM.
Please note this is just a jest and do hope nothing is wrong nor do I wish anything has happened. This has been a regular forum conversation for many years.
Perhaps he installed non-DOT headlights/taillights and was arrested after driving to a police station to finally prove his point. They didn't offer him bail so has been stuck there ever since.
The Ogre hasn't posted here in 30 days. This is highly unusual for him. It wasn't all that long ago that a forum regular was found to be deceased after a sudden absence. Quite a few of us are now rather concerned about The Ogre's well being. IMO, this isn't the time or place to be making jokes.
So many any more may go to the Hospital for something and have to recover at a nursing home. They often lose web use and go a bit AOL for a while. That would not be great news but better than the alternative.
I'll take a wild guess here and say that Dave may have come down with Covid. My sister-in-law and brother in law got it last month and as seniors and they were ill for six weeks.

Just got over it. It was more annoying that bad.
If he had it I think that would add web time since he could not get out.
It seems like his home state is a black hole at the moment. 2 of our members there haven't responded but I've reached out to a third. Will continue to keep everyone updated.
Some more news. We know he is okay and he is taking a break from the forum/internet for reasons unknown to us. Will he be back? I don't know - time will tell.

Thank-you for the news, Cliff. I'm glad to hear that he's okay... but damn, he could've told someone he was simply taking a break. The Ogre just being The Ogre I guess.

When I learned that he had no serious health issues I was going to make a joke about him being in jail for driving with illegal headlights.
But just because his reason for taking a break is not medical that does not mean it is not something very serious. So I will hold off the jokes for now.
Ogre, if you are still reading and just not posting we miss you. But take as long away as you need to get things straight.
Nice that some seem "worried" about me... Y'all went too far. Some A lot too far.
☢️ Warning: The Ogre is Pissed!
⚠️ Even after overnight and writing a post I don't wanted. ⚠️ (And This is the Short version...)
You all obviously have no clue that I often have not been "here" for weeks to months many times in recent years. I have many other things to burn time. More so when nubes and others mostly posting same problems or crap for several years now. IOW Boring as Hell. Watching YT using FF w/ uBlock Origin etc that Google hates (Search YT adblock wars) won't work right is even better then copy/past same data to hundreds of threads because no-one bother to look at other threads or use any search methods. Then add Morons still installing/pushing Illegal, Dangerous, or Both "Upgrades" & "Fixes" no matter what I and Others said. IOW Total Waste of Time. Or they think they "own" a thread and others need permission to post... Riiiigght... IOW I Don't care to bother tearing down another self claim expert. So I simply stopped reading or posting anything or even opening PFF site again.
Worse You fools have "Dox" me and a Twit came here After Weeks "Missing" not only bothering Me but 1 or more neighbors to find info when I didn't answer the door. 1 Neighbor told whatever pronoun seen Me that day but didn't get a hint then wanted to call but Neighbor knew better said no to phone number. Same Neighbor try to call, but no time to redial before the Twit knock again. I only answer thinking the Neighbor is knocking. Most in this area Often Do Not answer the door because way often is JW and other Cults or more crap to waste time.
The Uninvited and Unknown Twit wanted "answers," tried dropping user name(s), wearing a shirt w/ logos I guess supposed to mean something relevant, all that mean Nothing + my dog flipping out and not getting info from Me bothered the Neighbor again!
End Result: The Ogre was Pissed. Be Glad that I didn't get a tag # for the truck @ that time. One or more Neighbors have "ring" etc. if needed.
Tip:DO NOT GO or Send someone else to a "wellness check" for me or ANYONE else! 110 times more When you do not know them. If you think I'm pissed is bad, mean, more... many will do way worse that can hurt or kill people that try this. I simply don't need insurance hike or getting sued when a "helper" just falls and gets bent on my property. If Fierochic88 or others "think" that is "needed" then Call Local Police as most places that's a job they handle even in many Democrat Defund the Police areas. Even then expect to have more data and very good reason or can be labeled like "swatting" that is a Crime in most places.
For Ref: Cliff's Email got auto dumped in a Spam "folder" by ISP or other Email rules. Fact: Email is Not Reliable to start and never been so and many users don't read them even when it works for whatever reason or in a time period but Fools think sending Email mean something. This is Why Many Businesses put out a "receipt" email for email/forms for support etc. to tell they even got the message. Then often still wait for days or more for staff to respond if get an answer @ all. (As I'm running same loop for router support take days to answer.) Most Client programs and ISP's do not do this to fight spam w/ many even block web images and more for same. Example: Outlook and other Email Clients may have a "button" for receipt when read but most Inet servers ignore this too. Only works w/ Microsoft Exchange etc within a business.
More Cliff doesn't have all info he thinks/claims or otherwise he shouldn't "Dox" Me as I live with other people that also Don't Answer the Door for same reasons or Phone from unknown numbers. IOW Cliff, If you think that I don't like you in the past... I simply didn't care one way or another depending on topic @ the time but You have no hope now.
