Yes, one of the regular PW experts always with sage advice.
Agree, one of the most knowledgeable and helpful guys on OGR forum.

For sure. And never gets nasty, rude or snippy at all. Which is kinda refreshing.
OK BURF, what is going on with you?
This should send him an email. Beacon signal for CW

Ha, I never thought about that possible connection (amateur radio).
Here's the most recent post I found from C W. Hope he is well and just taking a break from the forum. I've done that from time to time.

When hovering over his screen name, it also shows he visited more recently. Still October 8th, but almost a month more recent than the September post.
Hopefully he's just been busy.

Still nothing from burfle. I see his email is gone, but he visited on 11/7
Guess just wants a break, understandably. Had a few questions for him, he's one of the best here imho.
Again, more than anything hope all is well.
I too hope he is okay. I enjoy reading his posts on this forum.
His last visit to another train forum was on 14sep18.
He hasn’t posted lately, but according to his profile page, his last visit was four hours ago, so he is reading.
If he last read/checked-in within the past 4 hours, it may be logical to assume that he surfs the forums of his choice. That so, very likely he's seen this thread expressing concern as to his well-being.
Then why no replies?
Not known.
A possible scenario could be that someone REALLY offended him and he's simply chosen to abstain from public posting now. That so, it would be a personal choice, and one that I would certainly understand and respect.
I hope that is not the case. I always viewed him as a good guy, and his knowledge is without question. However, if it's NOT the case, then I haven't any other ideas as to the absence. It's all speculation anyway, so until (if) we hear from CW himself, we'll simply not know.

Hey CW - where ya been? Have always found your posts to be informative & helpful. Come back soon!
While he did not post anything, he checked in 18 hours ago.

All this speculation, and none of it is any of our business.

Well no it isn't but folks happen to care if everything is ok with him. We get used to folks being here ad when they don't post for a while there is a genuine concern for them. I imagine if he's ok he'll let someone know. It's nice to see that folks do care about their fellow forumites.

You're correct Marty. I'm certainly not trying to pry into his personal life. But like you said, when you see somebody that's usually very active disappear, it does make you worry about it. He's one of the nicest guys on the Forum, and very knowledgeable. He's helped me several times. And many times without him even knowing it, just by reading his post. I made it a point that whenever I saw a post from him I read it. Because it was always good stuff. And even if he didn't agree with somebody, he would always deliver it in a friendly and positive fashion. In my opinion he, along with many others, was the best of the forumites. Because we all know there are some real winners out there. And we all get to know who they are, I don't even have to open a post from some of them, and I know it's nasty. Sometimes I do open a them just to confirm my thoughts, and darn near every time I was right.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody! And you too CW if you read this
CW always struck me as a methodical, intelligent guy. Doesn’t make sense he wouldn’t give a quick response to ease our minds. I really hope he is okay. Not to be negative, but someone in his family could be pursuing his PC. I just hope I’m totally wrong!

It is sort of un-normal for CW. He has been here for many years. CW, if you read this, just drop a note you're OK and just taking a break.
