I'm sorry if I offended you. I appreciate your concern. <br /> <br />I work on steam locomotives on weekends--just black, no white [:)][:D][8D]! <br /> <br />Dear Junctionfan, <br />Yep, Canda is much smarter than the US. <br /> <br />Dear James, <br />Thanks for being on my "team." <br /> <br />Dear LimitedClear and Dan, <br />No hard feelings, okay [:)]? <br />________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Back in the middle ages, people would fight in wars (Crusades, Britan vs. France, etc.) for no good reason. The wars were started for one, but thirty years later nobody could remember why. Here, we got in an argument over GCOR rules, and seven pages later, we were throwing posts back and forth over completely different things than on pages one and two. <br /> <br />In the end, we argued a lot (even tossed in a few bible verses) and, 135 posts later, are nowhere but where we started. <br /> <br />When I posted this topic 11 days ago, I didn't think it would be controversially debated like this. As a matter of fact, I didn't even think the railroaders would chime in all that much. It was mostly for the railfans. <br /> <br />The best advice now is no different than when we started. Use common sense, don't look for a fight, and leave if asked. If you were (you feel) in the right (like on public property), then use the newspapers or other media to your advantage--courts cost more than 37 cents!!!! The railfans in the Metra incident used the media, remained out of court, and were succesful. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel Parks <br /> <br />[:D][^][:I][:o)][8D][8)][:)][;)][:P][(-D][(-D][:-^]
