I went Proto-Freelance a few years back beacouse of people like that...i am sick and tired of hearing that im placing the wrong type of air horn for BNSF and crap like that...Now that im Proto-Freelance...SCREW what people think...it IS my railroad and i will run it the way i want. Now keep in mind that there is a very convincing story behind my railroad (if anyone wants to hear it all id be glad to tell them about it). But i have encountered the "Know it all" people out there...you know the ones im talking about...the ones who even if your knowedgeble on a subject have to either correct you...or ad in some really small detail that you missed just to make them look like they know more than you...i had this problem a few years ago with some dork on an AOL forum...and i flat out told him that it bothers me that he has an answer for EVERYTHING...he accused me of being jelous...i wasnt jelous...i was more irritated that if somone else posted information before he did that he had to CORRECT their post so that his was the end all be all. So i went proto-freelance. Another thing that greatly bothers me are the people that will nitpick every little thing on a model that you built...and im not trying to blow my horn...but i superdetail, paint, decal, and kitbash museam quality models (of which i have had my work mentioned in several publications beacouse of that...and at 24 years of age im damn proud of myself) but even then...and im sure its beacouse of my age...the nit pickers will still try and find something wrong with a locomotive...hey did you miss an air hose there on that SD70 pilot??? These people are the ones that make this hobby NOT FUN...and well...being an OTR Truckdriver and having a mouth that comes with the job...i have told many of them what i think of them using severl explatives that im sure are not fit for this all ages forum LOL. I left my last model railroad club beacouse of that...i have since joined another on that is not quite like an rectal-exam...and everyone there is "great people". Damn i been ranting a while...i guess to close out...SCREW THEM...if they dont like what YOU are modeling...well then that their problem...its like i say over the CB all the time to other truckers...."You drive your truck, and ill drive mine"....You play with your trains and ill play with my trains. <br /> <br />Johnny Dash 9
