You know, if he belches thick, black smoke when you rev him up, he just might be one!

And he still keeps pulling hard, so....

Sorry, Kev. Believe it or not, the RRs do monitor some of these RR web sites. (in annother terminal a coworker of mine was approached by a trainmaster asking if he was "so and so," that posted "such and such," on a web RR forum.) Kind of a bummer, but, it deters me from posting my entire name due to some of my negative posts.
Ken


I do believe that comes under the classification of harassment. Your coworker should have filed a grievance against the trainmaster. It's none of the trainmaster's business what your coworker puts on a forum, as long as he's doing on his own time, not the railroad's. Maybe the trainmaster found out his spouse is cheating and wanted confirmation ? [:D]
