Does anybody have any news about Robert Ellsworth ?? I haven't seen him on this forum in some time now, and he usually has PLENTY to say. My concern is that he's fallen victim to an accident or health crisis. Any information would be greatly appreciated, and THANK YOU in advance.

Thought I still had his email address but it got lost when my old laptop turned into a doorstop (freak crash during a backup scrambled some files). Find his last post and there should be buttons for PM or email. The PM notification or email will be sent via RYPN via email. Or look up his profile. You have to be logged in to do any of the above.

[edit] I believe he's alive and well posting on Quora as of today.

Last post, July 16, also last visit (you can find this out in your own "user control panel" by searching by author, if you know the spelling of the person's user name): viewtopic.php?p=346146#p346146

Postings here dropped off this summer, lots of things going on, but also some odd trolling of the knowledge guys (I'm not in that group) who no doubt were annoyed. But hopefully posts will pick up now.

I have learned a lot from OVERMOD (R.M. Ellsworth)'s posts here and on Trains forums. I do hope he's ok.

If he's the same Overmod at the Trains Magazine forum, he's still posting.

Thanks for these replies. I have to admit (even if it gives them pleasure) to being rather irritated by the trolls, myself --- does this mean I'm knowledgeable ?? Maybe, but not about anyhing worthwhile. Truth be told, we have a lot less trolling here than on other sites that I won't mention.

I've got his mailing address --- Maybe I'll send him a Halloween card.

Thanks again fellas.

While a lot of what he posts here is outside my knowledge base and some is miles over my head, I do enjoy reading his posts. Hope he's not mad at us and comes back.

I'm back. The reason for absence was partly an ICD problem which resulted in being stuck in West Palm Beach for a while, and on return my phone would not sync properly with the computer I use to access RyPN. Not a problem with anything here.

I appreciate all who were concerned about this.
