He was last active on October 29, 2023, 04:12:14 pm. Last posted on October 22.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

"last active on October 29, 2023. Last posted on October 22."

Coincidentally:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Lewiston_shootings
"On October 25, 2023, 40-year-old Robert Card fatally shot 18 people and injured 13 others during a shooting spree at two locations in Lewiston, Maine, United States."

From hints I thought he was within an hour of me in semi-north Maine. His IP traces to Mass?

None of the victim names looks like his handle, but that's not proof.

Lewiston is a long way south from here, but many of us have connections. Not too much me because I am from away, but our nearby Police had connections to the shooter, even trained with him.

If you PM him, he may get an email ping.

*** It's Deer Season!!  (Wear orange!!!) Many in Maine fill their freezer this way. Depending Where and How, he could be out with a  Muzzleloader through December 9, 2023.
