Raleigh,
The fallacy of your fable is that your character gradually eliminates
the lesser modelers. Unless I'm getting the wrong jest of this idea,
this site would be to gather modelers together. Although it would be a
scale site, nobody would be eliminated due to rail size, coupler size,
race or religion. I would see it as gentle encouragement to the scale
side--much like Bernie Thomas did in his AF to scale conversions in the
old Herald. Being the internet is somewhat anonymous who would know (or
care for that matter) if the subscribers were rivet counters, 3 railers
or Baptist's.
