DING! Thats the bell, gentlemen… Take 10.
“DING! Thats the bell, gentlemen… Take 10.”
Thank you Bob. I agree. My mama always told me, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.” I will try to abide by her words.
By the way…Some of us in here live in Kansas.

Yikes! …and it was all so nice and gentile like over here!
Guess I’ll have to head over the the Trains.com site now and get the Popcorn machine from Mookie so I something to munch on during fire-tossing show,… that and a combat helmet!

Thanks for the mail!
Sure it is, until the Quacks show up for more quacking.
Bob has a very fine way with pictures! 
Dontcha just love how some folks try and rewrite history.
I know exactly what went on at MLS.
I tried reasonableness and commonsense and neither were sucessfull in getting the powers that be to see the errors of their ways.
Ah Well. There are none so blind as those that do not want to see.
Life goes on and I will as well.

Tony,
One day we can produce a book with short stories and anecdotes. Tentative title “Newspeak and other Spinning in the early 21st Century”.
TOC and I probably have enough stuff to make a good start and give iron-clad attribution/credit/reference to the “sources”, despite re-incarnations and disappearances of some posts.

Hey , chaps , I am fairly neutral in this with regard to personalities who appear HERE . I used to use MLS , and I took a peek there today and some of the names there appear over here too . I did not log in to read the posts , I would have had to to post though . There are some nice chaps over there . Mostly they are the same ones that are here as well . Perhaps there's a reason--maybe the venting of steam not being allowed over there on MLS . I can understand the very strong views expressed by some here . But regrettably , they are based on some lack of knowledge of all the facts . Nobody except the site owner ,Shad , knows the ruling placed on his moderators . It can be argued though that some of them seem to relish the (supposed ) power . That , I believe , is where the real root of the problem lies , for there is no appeal allowed against one man's judgement . One case in which I personally got a rocket only came about because I criticised a dear friend . In retrospect , when the bloke had time to think , I got the impression that he regretted it . If he didn't , he's a prat . So , entertaining though this all is --we all stop to watch a punch-up , don't we-- don't lets all get involved , and live to regret it . I sense the steam pressure is winding down a bit , so let's not heap more coal on the fire . There's going to be the odd blast ,blowing down the cylinders , but that should really be all , don't you think ? Come on chaps , let's get on with the thing we all do best--ogle at other peoples' layouts . None of you are getting anywhere , nor are you getting any younger--so don't behave like you are . Pretty Please , Mike

Gee! Maybe you and your “book” can be reviewed on Oprah!
