Hey Bob!

Down here in Dixie, if a lock is broken we just tie a hungry Rottweiller to the front porch. Works just fine!

Just a thought! Wink [;)]

Hey Bob, what happens if you click on the little bluish gray "report abuse" thingy on the lower right corner of the post?  [I hope you can see that]  Does a hand come out of your computer screen and slap you with the words, "You have now been abused, fill out the forum on the screen,"  comes from your speakers?  Wink [;)] = wink [as you can not see them]

Well, I just figure that there must be a more complex way to lock it than that which I was told. For all I know, since I can't see the smilies on my computer at work or home, there may be a big red "dump" button for locking threads that I can't see either.

I'm glad all this was worked out before it went online. Insert little smiley face here.

bob, I can't reply to your post but I could to any other post.  It appears any post with the reply button showing will allow one to continue posting on a locked thread.  Hope this gives you something to fix

Well boys and girls, I'm going to censor this thread by locking it. Lets hope my locking it actually locks it, and it takes its place in the annals of internet history as the first locked thread of CTT Forum: The Next generation.

I see no reason to spew all this bile. I view these forums to learn about trains and exchange ideas,not insult people.

Bruce, You asked...so I'll comment. I was on your "TCA" site for a month or so, and was hard-pressed to understand it's "reason for being", especially since you didn't need to be a TCA member. I finally signed-off when someone changed my "no emails/ read on-line" to "recieve emails". 2 days later, I was magically re-joined, and getting emails again! This forum, plus the OGR forum, is all I need. Joe

Abe Lincoln said that; not a particularly happy guy.

Mr. ChiefEagles:

The other TCA forum is the TTLM: Toy Train Mailing List. just for the record, anyone, TCA or not, can join that forum too. The written description of my alternative group speaks for itself.

 

So long.
