It is sad that he felt the need to remove it. I only know half of the story through google research, and those long ago conversations didn't paint him kindly. It's been a very long time since I have come across NB in image searches, and I'm not looking for NB in my search.
Weird things happen on the internet. I can understand his frustrations, regardless of what I have read about him. I have had some very strange private messages sent to me on this site, QB, that has frustrated me and left me questioning what the heck is going on, and what sock is that person wearing today, and why the game. I have no idea if this has happened to him on his site, but I'm sure it has since it happened here on a quilting board site.
Out of my frustration, I removed my name from all the yahoo groups that I had joined over a year ago when someone kept sending me private weird messages here. I just got tired of the BS, game playing, and reading stupid posts.
Well, I really don't know the true story and I'm sure I never will. But it is sad that the NB site is gone, even if I only got to experience it for a brief time back in 2010 through google images, a once back way into his site-which I didn't know at that time. I thank Alan for the short brief moment in time; that search help me identify a Two Spools.
I'm not a member of Treadleon or ISMACS, or any other site like Quilting Board.
Nowadays, there are so many bloggers with free and helpful information. Some of those bloggers make money from their blogs through daily hits. I'm not one of them that makes any money from my blog. I do thank those bloggers that have spent their time compiling photos for tutorials on cleaning and fixing vintage machines, and just posting photos of their machines. Through their blogs and sharing freely their information, I have learned the importance of blogging about my machines and projects that I have made with them. We are all teachers and learners. So, I too try to share tutorials on my machine projects and post photos of all of my machines, just my small contribution to helping save these vintage beauties.
My suggestion to vintage machine owners is to start blogging your machine photos, machine information, and tutorials so that others can learn.
Thank you!
