<p>[quote user="dakotafred"]</p> <p>[quote user="Sam1"]</p> <p>This thread appears to have gone from a discussion of what will replace coal, presumably within the context of its impact on the nation's railroads, since this is a forum for people interested in railroads, to a discussion of climatology. Whilst it is an interesting and timely topic, it probably belongs in a forum devoted to climate change.</p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Who cares?</p> <p>I get tired of the occasional priss on here who wants to direct the conversational traffic. If you don't like the turn the conversation has taken ... drop out! There are other threads.</p> <p>Insisting that we confine ourselves to the original subject is as childish as insisting that all conversation at, say, a family reunion be about family. No politics, no baseball, no weather, etc.</p> <p>C'mon! In any case ... who appointed you? [/quote]</p> <p>Your intemperate comment is duly noted. People are free to wander all they want; that does not mean that failure to address the subject in a meaningful way is helpful.</p> <p>There is scant commonality between a discussion of what, if anything, would replace coal and its impact on the well being of the nation's freight railroads and a family reunion, although it may be difficult for some people to recognize it.</p> <p>No one appointed me? I am as entitled to an opinion, including where a discussion is headed or not headed, as anyone. Who gave you the right to rant at me or tell me to buzz off?</p>
