[quote]QUOTE: . ....I am trained as a civil engineer in water supply and sewage disposal so I have been overqualified at processing the complaints from the cheap, inactive chewers and spitters who complain about the effort of many others to entertain them. Lindsay Smith [/quote] Living way too close to a sewage treatment plant, I didn't realize until now that the operators were "entertaining" us around here. Why no viewing windows in the tanks, like at Sea World ?I'm surprised there's no fee for inhaling....mind you, there's a penalty.[xx(][xx(] Seriously folks, there's no right answer here, just diverse opinion. The poll so far is VERY inaccurate, ( and will probably remain so )as the NMRA could only dream of that kind of percentage membership, or even half of it.[:I] There are joiners and non-joiners, in every walk of life. Take service work. You know, clubs like Lions' and Rotary do outstanding service work all over the world. BUT hundreds of thousands of people perform service work in their communities, without ever joining these clubs. I used to be a Lion [ 15 years ]... I still do service work....but I got tired of paying for dinner meetings that I didn't wi***o attend any more,especially with members who didn't show up for the work parties.[V] The technical initiatives of organized groups are always used by the non-member masses, whether it's the NMRA, SAE, CSA, EPA, UL, or whatever. I've never been an NMRA member. In the past 30-40 years or so, I've shown a lot of beginners how to lay track, assemble kits, do buildings from scratch, whatever. And how to buy products wisely.[8D] regards \ Mike
