Ed, <br />For Heaven's sake, don't let this person win by default. My comments earlier were to alert everyone not to permit anyone to bait these posts to where an inappropriate response would be made. Obviously, this person is not going away and even if Trains could close his account, there's nothing to prevent him from signing back on from another site and another name. The best thing is to just ignore him, besides, I think this whole topic is about talked out. <br />Ed, you and I come from different career backgrounds and would have probably disagreed on many things. But, there are some common denominators, though. First, we both care about the railroad(s) and the efforts we make in their behalf, safety for all being paramount. Second, we all have pride in what we are doing or have done. Third, we love railroading. Fourth, and last for this list, anyway, I believe we have respect for each other. <br />Those who make rude and vile posts have none of these qualities so, in fact, at one level I have a degree of pity for them. Someone like that is very sad to witness. Whatever this person's motive, perhaps good psychological counselling would be of benefit. But, I would be loathe to suggest such a thing to that person. However, if they were to read something written to someone else in a public forum, well, O.K. <br />Hang in there, Ed. DLTBGYD <br />Regards and have a safe day. gdc
