Pile'em up, pile'em up!!! Are you guys losing sight of reality???
How about more on Elesco vs. Worthington or Hamilton???
Or even just sightings!!!
Probably 50% of Mookie's postings are sheer chat-chat blather and could be shipped to another site.
Mookie, if you had any more time (2.62 postings per day!!!) you would over-algae this forum. The fish would die.
I know I'm about to be flamed but I remain your humble servant Tom Cat.

rixflix aka Captain Video. Blessed be Jean Shepherd and all His works!!! Hooray for 1939, the all time movie year!!! I took that ride on the Reading but my Baby caught the Katy and left me a mule to ride.

Mookie,

I really don't think you have a problem. A lot of us on the
Forum, look up to YOU,and a few other people to keep
things in hand,keep them going,etc. PLEASE don't feel
like you are in competition with anyone.
THERE IS ONLY ONE MOOKIE!

Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!

I agree although it is always cool to get a new star.

Mookie,
Your not alone.
With one exception, I havent posted on any of the other forums...
Although I have never felt the need to compete for numbers, and I doubt you do either.
So your answer is yes, you have made the majority of postings and replies, and asked the most interesting questions...
After all, I doubt Wabash would wonder about "yellow thingies"[:D]
(and he still has the mirror somewhere, for back up moves...yeah, right)

99% of my posts have been on this forum. My posts on the Classic Trains or the Model Railroader forums are as rare as a GE locomotive making a complete run without breaking down.[}:)]

I haven't posted elsewhere. Of course I don't have five stars either. This post is one more small step in that direction though...

Just to protect my standing in the family, I want to know who my real competitor is. I have never posted on anything but the Trains Magazine Forum. I know some of the rest of you post on Model Railroader and Classic Trains, etc. Is there anyone here with me at five stars that has not posted on another forum?

Therein will be my real "competitor".

Mookie feeling threatened? [:0]

Don't worry I'm sure you'll be the first to 3000. [8D]

I know I don't have 5 stars (yet) but I thought I'd reply to this.

Almost all of my posts are on the Model Railroader forum and only about 50 of my posts are/were off topic (like this!). I left the forums a couple months ago and just started to post again in the last month.

Jim - I barely have time to do this forum. I would love to hit all the forums just for interest, but unless someone tells me there is something on the picture of the day, I don't even go there. I am constantly fighting time and work and a very slow puter.

That's why I said competitor - since I am at a distinct disadvantage - but not by choice!

Competitor [:0]

Oh no, the forum is a family not a competittion. We are here to help, advise, and share. On the Model Railroad forums people are always asking questions and other people are leaving answers (just like what happens in this forum) but these answers are to help with problems people might be having with their models, layouts, or related issues. A good example of the help that can be found in this forum, as you well know, is Nora's thread--that we refer to as the "Stupid Question Thread".

Many of our forum family members post in more than one thread. Try it, you'll like it.

Might I suggest that you stop by the Classic Trains forum and take my "Favorite Railroad Decade" poll. If you do, please leave comments. I am sure that everyone there would welcome you as you grace them with your presence. [;)]
