Why do I have to be a rivet counter or a toy train owner?

To be honest, no matter how detailed one gets <i>we are all just playing with toys</i>.[:I] <br /> <br />The best part of this hobby is the ability to grow. The so called "rivet counters" started with a basic oval and loco. The beauty of this hobby is that they were able to expand that basic set. Good for them. [^] <i><b><font color="red">BUT.....</font id="red"></b></i> Shame on any of them that look down on the person who has a basic oval and a loco. [V] Not all people have the same desire, talent and money to do what they do. <br /> <br />Bottom line.....if you enjoy this hobby then that is all that matters. How sad to have a hobby and hate it. <br /> <br />On a side note: This hobby tends to be more artistic than other hobbies. Art is very subjective which lends itself to debate and criticism. As a songwriter I knew once counseled me, "Blessed is the artist with a gentle heart and thick skin."
