The comments that there never was an intent to move here just didn't make sense. It never quite jibed to me. There is no question he is very knowledgeable, was extremely helpful when he did post here and does a great job repairing carts. However, I doubt I would ever use him for three reasons: 1) Not totally convinced he is as ethical as he claims; 2) From what I've heard, he is a bit more expensive than most other golf cart repair people in TV; 3) I have a great repair guy who I think walks on water.
Obviously, no one except the person in question can know for sure what his intent was. However, I do know that he posted a ton on another website that was for cart owners, and had nothing to do with the villages in particular, so apparently he simply has an acute interest in carts and cart repair. The only criticism I had of his posts was his tendency to be harshly critical of other cart repairmen, which I beleive, is never a good practice in any job/profession. If his intent all along was to move to TV, he did a good job of building a reputation prior to the move and I really can find no fault with that. Again, I agree he should advertise here and remove the veil of silence.
