You have read criticism of this forum, and in my opinion, most of it is legitimate. This forum is too klutzy. But it occurred to me that if you base your opinions on the Layout Design Sig at Yahoo! Groups, you may not be well informed. It isn't that great a forum either. I am not talking about the level and knowledge of the participants (LDSig), but of the quality of the forum engine itself - the quality of participants is excellent there. So here is what I suggest. You need to join a forum or two that is excellent - in terms of forum design. Get yourself a hotmail name (with secret identy - how about - Andy_the_spike - LOL!!) and post about once a day for a month, so you can experience directly what a good forum feels like in terms of organization, etc. I would recommend two: 1) Atlas is well known and widely used. Its secret is that it has very few forums - 4 in total. But people respond to it and it is very active. www.atlasrr.com 2) The other one is trainboard. It isn't as active, but offers a wide selection of forums - in actual fact to wide - as the forum seems quiter than it really is, because the posts are spread out over too wide an area. I am a moderator there and I know they are thinking of cutting back. eg. CN and CP forums will disappear and become Canadian RR forum (thus more posts about more Canadian roads other than CN and CP). I am rsn48 but I had to format my hard drive and am too lazy to get yet another password I will lose, so I am posting through my son's name, who isn't as lazy as I am. In layout design sig I am nicholson1318 Cheers. Rick Nicholson
