[quote user="Harry_Runyon"][quote user="J T"]But what I just find ridiculous is this excuse that anyone is "too busy" to move a part of their body for a split second in time.  That's all it is...nothing more, nothing less.   [/quote]Your post suggests that you expect crews to "perform on foamer demand". That is equally ridiculous. [/quote]You obviously misunderstood my post. No, my post suggests that anyone who uses the excuse NOT to wave because they are too busy the ENTIRE time they are working is just flat out lying.  Sure, you're going to have those moments from time to time while you're going down the tracks and occupied with more important things, but to imply that it's that way 100% of the time is just ridiculous.  It's just like any work you do in life.  There are moments when you're focused on the task at hand and other moments when you can CHOOSE to look and acknowledge what's going on around you. As I've stated before, I don't give a damn if the engineer or conductor waves or not when I'm taking pictures.  It's about the equipment, not about them.  I also think those making excuses should come out and admit that they just DON'T WANT TO WAVE.  How hard is it to admit that?  Why be a drama queen about it?  I had an engineer honk and wave at me today while I was taking a picture.  I did a "what's up" kind of wave back and was quickly and safely on my way.  He acknowledged my presence and I acknowledged his.  Nothing more, nothing less.  Apparently he wasn't too busy to wave, though...and I'm sure he wouldn't be on this forum making excuses either. Engineers, conductors, trainmen, whatever, don't worry about hurting the feelings of foamers.  If you don't want to wave, just SAY it.  They WILL get over it.
