Nope...I wasn't singling you out. There was one more comment after yours.

Hey, that's cool -- if there's something we're doing that makes you upset, let us know. You have a right to voice your opinion. However you have to appreciate the position (predicament?) we're in. On one hand we're criticized for not intervening enough and when someone does intervene, we're criticized for intervening too much. It's difficult to find that middle ground where everyone is content.

Keep in mind that we are dealing with a diverse audience in age, location, religious beliefs, moral values and political views. We're certainly not asking people to become "politically correct" robots, but to treat each other with respect and decency.

An editor for FineScale Magazine said it best when he posted regarding the use of language on their forums.

Last but not least, this isn't a place to discuss Pfizer products. [}:)][;)]

None taken, but nonetheless, thank you.

I don't think we're ready for having people upload images (yet). However I'll work on a list of sites that offer free image hosting.

In regards to chat, I have a couple of solutions in mind for chat if it ever comes up, but I have to wait until that time comes. [:)]

Oh let's all just kiss and make up! Let's get all slobbery with the kissy-face/huggy-bear squeals of joy at our new-found mutual respect and love. (Mook will laugh so hard tomorrow a.m., she won't be able to start work before 10:00!)

Maybe somebody should start a new topic, call it the Mookie challenge, and see if it's possible to delay the start of her work day. [:p]

Good grief! It sounds like Jen's been adopted by a lot of big brothers, and I'm the only nice one!

Seriously (kind of), Jen, they don't even let me touch a locomotive these days...

Joe - I would love a Big Boy for the backyard, since the yard needs some help but would settle for a SD70 - think Hobson Yards has quite a few of them and I don't think they would miss just one....

you are right Skeets - [:D] I am really chuckling this morning! It is so fun to come in an hour before I actually start to work and read the musings of a bunch of out-of-work comedians! But since I am as dedicated as the workers on the railroad, I always start work promptly at 6:30 am! I, too, like my job!
