that I knew a lot less about railroading than I thought and lots of helpful people are willing to fill in the gaps in my knowledge and that there are people out there who are willing to listen to me to add to their knowledge and........we all have a lot to share with each other.

Amen Brother. [:)]

I learn new things from the forum, from forum members (by email, phone, or letter) and at work. Many threads, some with very few posts, can teach us things everyday if we are willing to learn. [:)]

Yes the forum has a few trolls, and some love to copy topics and keep them going. [V]

But overall it is a good place to hang out and learn new "stuff." [:D]

[Murphy Siding]

I learned that the Great Northern must have had a dozen different logos over the years-nearly all featuring Rocky the goat.

Murph - It's spelled "superfluous". Then again, I've never misspelt anything!

FutureModel: That may have been a superfluous statement. But then, I've been known to make typo's.[:)]

We have specially designed freight cars to haul bad guys out of here and off to forums where they belong.

Not to be confused with Scientology- which is the farce that helps propel movie stars!

[dharmon]

that when it comes to signtology ...toyo rocks.....

I've learned (no, really) on this forum that WAYYYY too many posters take things too seriously. Lighten up a bit- ...(lets all hold hands together and sing)...
Let the Sun Shine In,
Take it with a grin,
Blah,Blah,Blah,Blah,Blah, blah-
And something -sun shine in.

[Murphy Siding]

Not sure what you're sorry for, but apology accepted-don't do it again!!![:P]. Maybe it was was spelled with a "C". My comment had to do with the inordinate amount of superfalous knowledge I tend to collect in my brain![:)]. I mean, who else but Clifford Claven and I could talk about the comparitive firepowere of WW I battleships?and other "stuff"'.

[Anonymous]

IIIIII'mmmmm sorry!

BTW, wasn't Cliff's last name spelled with a "C"?

[Murphy Siding]

I learned a lot recently about bridge engineering. Not sure when I'll be able to use this new found knowledge, but there should come a time when I can effectively do the old "Clifford Klavin" routine on someone, don't you think?

One thing that has been confirmed is that leftists are idiots. Who needs NPR, AirAmerica, CBS News, or the New York Times? Anything they shovel out can be stepped in right here on TRAINS forums.

I learned Milwaukee Road fans are quite passionate about their interests![^]

What I thought I *knew* about railroad history via the conventional railroad press isn't always an accurate account of what actually occurred. Thank the Good Lord for the folks who dare defy the oligarchs and history revisionists!

Well if we ever meet, I hope I don't disappoint you.

I have learned that I still have a lot more to learn, and no where near enough time to learn it in.

I learned that a few of you are much more wise than you let on...like the Mookie.

And that just because someone is "smart" doesn’t mean they are knowledgeable, or wise!

I have seen that some of you care more about the people here than the trains, and some of you care about trains more than you should!

I have learned that, because we don’t see each other face to face, we tend to leave our prejudices out of our conversation, which means we tend to listen to what each of the others say, instead of what they look like.

Speaking of looks; I now know that Dan looks like a pilot, and the Mudchicken is neither, muddy or chicken, that is.

Oh, and I learned that Wabash still has the mirror!

I learned that Dave Klepper is one of the most enjoyable posters to read.[:)]
