Sorry you asked.

George Amthor (GMAs), out of Sacramento, CA, is arguably one of the most knowledgeable Skymaster experts. He got into a pissing contest on this Board with proponents of cruising leaner than peak EGT, Kevin (the webmaster) deleted some of GMAs' language that he deemed offensive, and GMAs got upset and left.

In the preceding paragraph I attempted to be surgically objective. Let me opine here. My view, on the one hand, is that we have suffered from GMAs absence, because he has a wealth of knowledge; for instance, his strong opposition to cruising at lean of peak (LOP) was correct (I think LOP is suitable for technically savvy pilots with on-board engine analyzers who are willing to devote extra attention to engine management in flight, but not for the average pilot). On the other hand, his language was indeed offensive and his later smearing of contributors to this Board unwarranted.

I wish we all made peace and GMAs (albeit a more relaxed GMAs) would come back.
