Just dropped a contribution. Thanks for doing this. Many years ago, I had one of my first pins develop a problem. I posted on RGP. At the time, I barely knew how to take the glass off. Lloyd, was the first to respond and looking back it was a heck of a newbie issue. He addressed me respectfully and helped with my problem. (Burnt GI header pins on a STTNG). Never once did he talk down to me. I've since gone from that, to completely restoring pins and performing board work. I pay it back and help others whenever I can.

Another time, I was buying a clearcoated Bill Davis MB pf from a gentleman in Minnesota. I was a little nervous sending this much cash to someone I didn't know. He gave Lloyd as a reference. Lloyd vouched for him and boy did that put me at ease. I kept that MB for years and actually a pinsider has it now.
