Hello Captain,
Does this involve the endless crap about weather and post counts!
I used to enjoy the difference in cultures,we used to be able to exchange.
However ,things have changed.
Believe me,there are things worse than sarcasm,it's called endless crap!

ok Bergie. Delete this one just because it's true!

Cappy,

I think we could measure BOVINEFECALNESS more easily on the BOVINEFECALOMETER (also known as the HEFERSCOPE).

I will try to relate this back to trains as best I can, I have brought it to this various English Speaking assemblage because a friend of mine on another forum invented a word that I should like to see in use (and maybe even in the Oxford English Dictionary someday)...

We are united in love of the hobby, but lets see if we can change the English language just one small iota...

BOVINEFECALOMETRY

How many post on this foum are genuine Garden Railroading and which smack of BOVINEFECALOMETRY? One measures this property on the metaphorical BOVINEFECALOMETER!

Have at it!
