That reminds me of a story when I was 14 and into model railroading, I remember my grandfather worked as a traffic manager at TP&W, he got a magizine called Traffic Managment, a trade mag, I was able to subscribe by saying I was the President of a railroad called Pacific & Western. They gave me my subscription for free cause I was in the industry [;)] <br /> <br />Well I carried it a little further, I was 14 and didn't know that what I was doing would end up costing someone money and probably embarresment, but I filled out a reader card because I wanted to know about Freuhauf trailers or containers, can't remember for sure. I got the lit in the mail. About a month later our phone rings at home, my mom answers and a gentleman asked for me, and added I believe he is the president of P&W. Well my mom had to tell him it was a model railroad in the basement and I was a 14 year old kid. I was in some deep do do for a few days, not model trains for a week. I never sent a request card after that [:D] <br /> <br />So I guess the moral is we all have been there, done that, just I didn't have the Internet to learn.
