I just read this whole thread and it all makes me sick. Clay has donated, time, effort and a ton of knowledge to the pinball community as a whole and a few douchebags have to ruin it for all of us? I can't think of a single reason to trash the guy. I may not know the whole story and I really don't want to read any more negativity than I have. I seriously doubt Clay is making a damn dime from any money collected from the pin repair guides. For every nay sayer there are a thousand people that like Clay and what he does. The dude loves pinball and wants to support and help it out by giving charity and help to people who can help preserve pinball. I don't blame Clay one bit for feeling the way he does about the whole thing. That said, I am one of the vast majority here that would love to see them come back one way or another. I signed up to the Pinball Ninja website and for me it is a good resource, but its not half of what the guides were for me. I am just not that advanced and reading the step by step helps me. Its a shame that something that could be so positive gets turned to shit because of a few sour grapes.
