I don't think rude  store clerks or snobbish answers on web sites is hurting this hobby, if you quit trains because of either, you need thicker skin. First you have to have a passion for trains and I think an exposure to them helps.  Secondly, time, or the lack of it seems to be a problem. Lets face it, how many hobbies demand so much time and different skills to master? RC airplane and car guys don't build hangars/garages, have scale people to place around. When you think of the layout, track, wiring, buildings, scenery,  etc, these are time consuming activities. In a day of instant gratification, it's a small wonder it attracts as many as it does.
