Because you have indicated to the forum system to ignore his posts.

Yes, of course.
I've ignored his posts before. Now I noticed that if I don't open them, they will disappear to me but not to others.
Didn't notice when they were gone before. This time it was the last post for a while. And when I went to add a post it wasn't there.
Put the new alternator pully on.
And it still makes a burping sound at idle. The tensioner vibrates when it happens. But doesn't really hop.
The alternator spins really smooth by hand. Compared to my other ALH bosch alternator and the MK3 alternator.
I can hear/feel the bearings grind on those.
Now that I have new stuff to compare it to.
The old alternator pully felt and operated the same as the new one.
Tensioner felt and acted the same as the old one too.
I'm going to try a new idler pully.

That's how ignore works. You only get to decide for yourself, others decide for themselves

I never expected to make it so others couldn't see his posts.
Just thought they would always still be there for me to open if I chose to.
Not bummed that they go away.
Every time I did decide to open one of his posts I found no useful information.
More likely to be some self-aggrandizing post, jabbing someone.
Took it for a ride today.
Running and stopping great. Still has the low RPM burp/buzz. New idler on the way.
AC works great.

You are still confused about "ignore".
You didn't make it so we couldn't see his posts. When you did that you are ignoring all of his posts, not just the contents of his posts. We are not affected by it, only you.
Mute/Block/Ignore are about the same thing.

If you have the alternator out, just hit the pulley a tap with the impact gun and it'll spin right off.

The tool I got said not to use an impact.
I was turning the wrong wrench counter-clockwise.
When I figured it out the pully came off pretty easy.
The one on the car did too.
