Peacelover, I admire the loyalty you show to your friend & neighbor. I
can only hope my neighbors and friends will someday be so generous.
Trevor pays respect to Tom S and Ray Calvert, and he is right on.
Anytime Tom S, Calvert or Lum post a message, I read it. Even if it
regards a component of winemaking I have no interest in or knowledge
of. Jack Keller is also an expert, however he is far too AWOL. What I
really appreciate is how Tom S, Lum and Ray C will frequently respond
to the most basic of questions without a hint of frustration or
impatience. They are true teachers, and they share their vast
knowledge willingly and without reserve. There are so many other
contributors in this very same category, Dar V being another who has
established a niche for one gallon country wines and who lends a
refreshing and kind-hearted approach to our favorite pastime. On the
other hand, I frequently found Trevor to be crotchety, self-absorbed
and condescending. He used the r.c.w. as his blog, and was far too
intolerant of the very backbone of this NG and from which we all
evolved: the newbie. I wish him well but won't miss him for a moment.
