If Bret has asked for privacy for whatever reason and no longer wishes to be apart of this community, that's fine as well of course. The ignoring of his absence and behavior, ie him deleting all the pictures, and acting as if he didn't exist at all is, quite frankly, annoying as hell. I'm not calling Dave or Doug out on this. This same issue occurred not too long ago with another member who frequented the board quite regularly as well. I don't think this is acceptable on a board that prides itself in being tighter knit or more community oriented.

I totally agree with you! There are shops posting on Lat G that are completely over their heads... have done crappy work - or overcharged for work done, and nobody says a word. Trust me... there have been many a back room dog fight over this issue. Here's the deal... unless the person DIRECTLY involved wants to post up their issues (whether it's the shop saying the customer is a bozo or the other way around) it's not anyone else's business to post up info they may have (second hand usually). The word tends to spread behind the scences... leaving most in the dark.
I'm not intimating there was anything askew here -- just posting a response to your "question" and statement about the community involvement is all because I feel very much the same as you do.
We - as a community - could go on for weeks debating issues. Was it miscommunication - was it over promise and under deliver - is it failure to pay - scope of work creep - creepy work - personality mismatch - customer wants more than was bargained for - change of plans.... and most all of the time there are two or perhaps three sides to every issue. Sometimes it might just come down to you're tired of waiting for your car to get worked on.
