Me and you have had discussions on other matters, so we both know we can be serious. I see that in two months, you have posted more than I have in eight months. I'm sure these are not all serious, train related posts. Personally I think this whole topic is pointless(read some of my earlier post) and has gotten more than a little silly. But I don't think I, or you for that matter, has the right to tell anyone to stop posting here. So just don't read it anymore if it upsets you to do so.

In the meantime I'm going downstairs to work on my layout, which I have neglected for the last week, while nursing a rib injury.[:)] Big'un, Interesting. Did I strike a nerve? Are you that concerned with this topic, that you are "compiling stats". Man, lighten up and have some fun before you blow a gasket. If these guys want to post numbers and that's all, who are you to tell them that they cannot. Are you the forum police? Do you make the rules? My "remarks" simply say if you don't like it, don't read it. I will continue to post to this topic, if for no other reason than someone telling me that I can't. You lack the authority to DEMAND this topic to cease, you lack the power to make this topic cease. These are your words:"If simply posting a number is supposed to be funny, I'm not laughing. If you like to hear me rant and rave, and you are just trying to provoke me into another long response, the game is over." Get over yourself already, for everyone’s sake. Dave 362 GO GATORS !!

Its been interesting, but I think its time to go. I have enjoyed reading the comments and suggestions that have been posted on this forum. Good luck to all. Orig posting from another topic--------- *******Now here's a guy who's leaving the hobby because it no longer holds his interest, really too bad. Maybe one day he may be back, but only if he has fun doing it.

Besides I've gone with the 10 year rule all my life which is this. I do something for 10 years then move on. This is my second go through for this one. Probably because there's more than one aspect to this hobby. It's diversified, which keeps it interesting.
