The guy was more interested in the past than people care about now, he dint grow up in the electricimal age that most here did. He is from an era where people compared this years race with previous season,
now its all about drama queens, money & politics.
He just wanted to bore everyone here with every fact he knew,
figuring other die hard fans like him would want to know what he did and they dint.
The fact that he pizzdoff a lot of BS'er and fantasylife racers should be of no concern to anyone
who LIVES for the month of May of the racing season to start, racing doesn't need cheap fans or rainyday fans or junk fans
it just needs fans who love the sport and I think waldo did.
His approach was just misdirected, his tolerance low and his time wasted.
I don't think he cared if he was liked or not probably
just wanted to be accepted as someone who knew more than the average fan which he seemed to.
Two points of clarification. One, on numerous ocassions he claimed to have been both a promoter and official of various races. Two, he insisted on being accepted as someone who knew more than anyone with the notable exception of Donald Davidson.

I admired and benefited from his knowledge. But his attitude that he was better than everyone else on this forum was boorish at best.
