What has happened to the people in this hobby?

I suspect (and hope) that the engine smasher was blowing bloody nose bubbles shortly thereafter... <br /> <br />I just got back into the hobby in the last couple of years after about 20 years out of it. The most notable change I have noted (other than the great stuff that is available now, and how expensive it has gotten) is the rivet counting has gone wacky. As an example, one fellow wrote a letter that appeared in the NMRA Journel a couple of months back complaining about people making up unlikely and unbelievable names for the businesses on their layouts! Cut me a break! That's half the fun right there. I have become more determined to makeup as may silly names as I can think of. If John Allen were alive today, I suspect he would be derided up and down by the proto crowd and his work would never get published. <br /> <br />Guess I'll just keep goin' it alone.
