<p>[quote user="Norm48327"]</p> <p>[quote user="cx500"]</p> <p>My chief complaint, and there is no easy answer, is that some threads which started out interesting and instructive degenerated into a tedious morass, of hypothetical theories based mostly on ignorance. It is easy enough to just ignore any postings by that (or those) specific individuals, but I fear that other people with less knowledge of railroading may be misled. </p> <p>Attempts in the past by a number of knowledgeable railroaders on this forum to correct the gabble were, and are, mostly just buried by more of the same. I'd not be surprised if some lost their temper and flamed at the foolishness. Was that what the veiled discussion was about several months back?</p> <p>John Sutherland</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family:times new roman,times;font-size:medium;">You have hit the nail squarely on the head. Theories don't cut it; results do, and there is a total lack of practicality in some of those theories. When confronted with the facts, the poster takes offense even the experienced people may have tried the idea in the past and found it to be unworkable. I certainly can't blame the railroaders for getting frustrated when they are repeatedly told they don't know what they are talking about.</span></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Well said Norm!!!</p>
