I like Jay's characterization of Bill's style as Socratic...very apt I used to think Bill could be a bit abrasive as well, but his depth of technical knowledge is matched by his impressive stable of bikes that he actually rides....and I know he did and maybe still does do such pro-bono things as coach mountain-bike racing. I was also impressed that he graciously and publicly admitted that he can come across as somewhat harsh. That being said, if for some reason Bill abandoned RWB Owners bunch, I think our community would be the poorer for it. I for one would miss his insightful posts and dry wit.
