Martin!!!!!!! Ask him!!!!!

To quote from one of my earlier posts:

"In order to get an Eddie Gold Star, you need to do something for someone, or the forum as a whole, that goes "above and beyond the call of duty". This might be a particularly help or informative post, an act of generosity, or other noteworthy deed.

Then, and only then, someone may nominate you for an EGS and, unless anyone disagrees, or Eddie has had a bad day, you just might get one."

I am paraphrasing Mart61 here, but basically, an EGS (Eddie's Gold Star) is nominated by anyone for another member who has done something "above & beyond" what you would normally expect on a forum. - this could be sending parts/gear to someone who needs it at no charge, giving help out of the ordinary to another member, etc. A nomination on the thread, plus a PM to Eddie, will normally result in Eddie awarding an EGS.

If you like, it's another form of recognition, your peers saying you've "done good"

HTH.

Drat! too slow!
