There was a time when I read all contributions to all of the trains.com forums, but then I was a moderator [(-D] Nowadays, I find myself reading less and less of the posts. When the title is not appealing to me I don´t risk an eye on the issue. I caught myself being less patient with those typical newbie questions and less willing to give help or advice. Furthermore, I get more easily annoyed by the use of "bad English" or "texting". I don´t understand why people do not exercise a little bit more care in what and how the write. People with a dyslectic condition being excepted, of course. I do participate in other forums as well, one being a UK-based narrow gauge forum and one being a Swiss forum, specializing in Swiss narrow gauge, both prototype and model railroads. Neither of those two forums appear to have a language issue to the extent I encounter here. It was not that bad when the forums still had a spell check... I guess I must begin to age.
