Well, as Snoot brought up in another thread....this is where Max's hints used to be. What a sad day it is that all that information is lost to those newer folks who have started posting.

Why don't you spend the several hundred hour he spent and recreate it? Then you can fund a web site to host it, for everyones use, too, as he did, free of charge.
i don't understand why you would value his helpful hints, but think his other posts were not valuable.
after all, he was a person sited as making hurtful posts, as being a sourse of problems, (if not by you personally,) by others. (i am not going to comb the thread for all the harsh, hurtful words that were directed at him as payment for his kindness)
I can't image why any thought that way about him, after all he did to make this place wonderful.
i guess its a case of throwing out the baby with the bath water. Who was it who ask the rhetorical question "what good is a baby anyway?"

Excuse me, of troy, I have never said a bad word about Max and have always valued this place he had for us. Please, do not assume you know how I feel, or what I think.

of troy, max has indeed said and done many beautiful things. On a personal level, he at one point paid me one of the most gracious and profoundly subtle compliments a person could ever hope to receive.
That does not mean that every single act of his is wonderful. Like all of us, he has his human frailties in his postings, and indeed he has been most gracious in admitting them on several occasions.
Some feel that this particular deletion was unfortunate.

angel at the time i posted, your's and max's were the only posts to respond to.
Max has requested, for various reasons, that unless the esponse is directed to what he had to say, not to reply to his post.
so i replied to your post..
i will edit now, if you'd like. i'll delete, and move the post it as a reply to Dr bill post..
the You (as i noted in the third paragraph (if not by you personally,) was a rhetorical you, to those who have have been ever so less than kind to Max.
besides, just last week you were advocting.
Let's talk about the word ignore. To ignore is to act as though something or someone doesn't exist, not to bring it to full attention.
Continue posting, and if a post by myself or Keiva or another offends you, then ignore it. Pretend it doesn't exist and go on about your business. Let's not tear this board apart because you don't agree with the words of another.
so why don't you just ignore my post?
i'm just checking mind you. i never heard the rules.. are there rules? it is rule that Max has to contribute valuable stuff, and can't delete it?

Deleting the information that used to be here will not hurt the people with whom its creator is angry, but just the newcomers who might have benefitted from it.
I admire MAX and looked forward to his posts and was always in awe of his magnificent mind and wit. Many times his words would just take my breath away. When he announced he would stop posting it devastated me. My only consolation then was that I would always have whatever he has posted to go back to anytime I feel that need to be inspired.
Alas, I did not know that, that could be taken away....

Yiddish maxim: Only a genius or a fool rushes into print.
Let's all back off a bit, shall we?
[edit] I recall musick's words: "The only structure we need is self-control".

interesting-- it took less than 1 minute for someone to respond to my post-- and look at what he posts!
and he quotes Musick-- why don't you look up some of your own quotes? you, know, the ones were you insisted we have to have rules, and where, when you were asked to back off, and the subject was changed, and days had past, you kept bringing up slights (subtle potshots is the very phrased you used,) directed at you.
yes restraint is good--- you are always advocating some one to use it i've noticed.
