Now Ed, there you go again! :-) But seriously, I do have to say that when I first joined this group, a discussion about the rail height broke out and it was very educational to me. It helped me decide which one to choose. It is a royal pain in the rear to find info in the Yahoo groups search feature, especially if you don't know exactly the wording to use for keywords. I remember thinking, two and a half years ago, that, what *was* getting old were all those people saying, "oh, here we go again!". Rail height was a legitimate issue for me at the time, and the members who have been part of this group for a long time were griping about the issue being brought up again. There are new people joining this list all the time, and being dismissed because one asks a question that was "answered" 10 years ago is not a good way to be welcoming to new people. I wonder if this is why we have a great silent majority; fear of being "ridiculed" for bringing up a question, a topic, or an issue. I, for one, like bringing up a previously discussed topic for the edification of new members, new model railroaders, or new scalers. It might also shed new light on a topic, especially if new members have new ideas. The key word here is "new"! :-) If we are no longer allowed to discuss something just because it was discussed in the past, this list will rapidly loose its usefulness. To be honest I have thought about "dis-joining" from this group a number of times because of the issue mentioned above. The only thing that keeps me hanging on is the potential of getting new information from manufacturers, and the inspirational work showcased by the group's members. I hope more members of the "silent majority" speak up and I appreciate Bill for starting this thread. Here's my $0.02, and with this, I'm going back to work... - Peter.
