QUOTE: Originally posted by danpik I even posted a couple of pictures of the results. Most people liked it and even thanked me for sharing, but one guy made the comment that it did not look realistic and my results were not worth the effort I put into it. I now think long and hard about posting any of my work on any forum.

The guy seemed to be having a good time..... As a musician, I use the same analogy for the hacker who sits and scratches out the three tunes he knows every night on his guitar. Is he really having less of an experience than Segovia did???? He may not reach the same artistic standards, but he might be having as much or even more fun.......Of course the audience may have a different opinion.

QUOTE: Originally posted by tatans I just viewed a site on the internet of an HO layout ..., to me, it didn't look very good .... Should a person never comment and keep his feelings to himself (I am), now I have seen layouts that should be in museums and I admire this talent greatly ( much scratchbuilt) I understand this hobby will and should encourage every type to participate, is the result of the above layout because no one ever commented on it for fear of offending them??? I have a feeling this may have happened, the builders of this layout do belong to a club. Is silence golden???
