Good point. It's now sticky.

Let's keep this one on top for a while. Bergie - why not make it sticky?

Guess who had had enough of the personal attacks in the "Train jumping..." thread?

If you've used this forum enough you probably know by now that I'm even-tempered about the vast majority of conversations that take place here and that I rarely censor posts. However, if you a reminder or if you're new, here's what I don't like (in other words… things I will take action on):

- Swearing... if you wouldn't see it in our magazine, you shouldn't use it here.
- Personal attacks... from nit-picking grammar to "my railroad's better than yours," they get us nowhere. If you get so mad at something you’ve read that you have the urge to fire a personal attack, walk away from your computer for a while. Trust me, I have to do it myself sometimes. Don’t let your emotions control your typing.

Above all, we want you to enjoy your time spent here, and I think you all do or you wouldn’t keep coming back. Just try to be civilized and remember that this isn’t the third grade (and my dad can’t beat up your dad).

Thanks,
Erik
