IS THAT OK WITH EVERYONE??????!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote] You know, the real irony here is, that is exactly what some of us were saying--"Let's talk RR's, not random crap,"--and we were shouted down by people saying, "Let the kids play." [/quote] ACL, you have to admit--there IS plenty of room for a wide variety of topics. I've never shouted anyone down for their polls or topics if they held no interest to me--I just skipped over them. Dougal, we should remember, is 12 years of age. He's exuberant, full of energy and has much to say. We should grant him the right to be exactly what he is--a youngin', as my granddad would have called him. Telling him to "go find another place to play" is just wrong (not that you did). It's better to teach with POSITIVE instruction as opposed to anger and/or harsh criticism. C'mon--let's all just get along. This is a great place to be.[^] [/quote] I totally agree. Remember the MR Motto, Model Railroading is fun, the day we stop having fun with this hobby will the first day of its ultimate demise. Dougal, you're certainly welcome to stay and all us hope you will, but please remember fun is where you find it and believe me these folks are the best around to have that fun with. I should know, I've been at it for 50 years and I'm still having a blast. The day I stop having fun with this hobby, will be the day I walk away from it, and never look back. [:)][:)][:)] [/quote] Thanks for sharing words of encouragement with him, Emerald. I think he'll return. Fifty years in the hobby eh? I feel as though I'm just getting started! (And in many ways I am!)[^]
