My comment was not intended as a condemnation of JJHtrainplanes, or of his intentions in creating them.<br> <br> What I was trying to point out is that by their very nature, they lend an aura of rigidity, an amost militarylike obsession with order. Which to a n00b coming here for the first time, could be interpreted as intimidating.<br> <br> Do people come here to have a good time? or to be reprimanded for failing to find the proper pigeon hole before contributing?<br> <br> Me? we'll I've got thick skin, If I ask a question and someone elsetells me where to put it, I usually return the "favor" [}:)] and that is that. [;)]<br> <br> But, the more easily intimidated might not fare so well.<br> <br> (KEY POINT----->) Especially if they have to worry about first looking for a possible "all questions for oil fired steamers may only be posted here" thread, ..before asking their question. and facing possible ridicule if they don't.<br> <br> In a nut shell, policy designed by a few and intended to make their experience more to their liking, may have unintended consequences...And I think this might be one such area.<br> <br>
