A few more things..
The buyer of the collection already in an S Scaler that attends all of the NASG convention, but is not active here, so we did lose 1. The seller was dabbling in O Scale. He will now dabble a little more. As I originally said 1 of the reasons stated for selling was the tone of the list. Of course there were other factors involved however I am just co-opting THIS one. The bull's-eye of my first post was what about the curious guys that join, lurk for a bit and leave? You never know why. As co-owner and gate keeper I see it happening every day. General list members do not see it. There are days when the list is the Eeyore convention beating the death drum. Someone quietly kicking the tires on S Scale is not going to hang around for that. If you judge your activity and general well being based on the quantity of new products coming out, again you should probably NOT be in S Scale. We all like when new stuff comes out but MOST of us have enough on our shelves to keep us busy for a very long time and possible 2 life times if nothing new ever comes out again. In short be happy with what you have and use it. It does not cost you anything to use what you already have! I have strayed a bit from the original premise but it IS relevant. As Tom Hawley mentioned, members should not feel guilty about what they post, but some real life and continued self editing could be in order here. I by far do not want the list to go quiet. It should remain the place for S Scalers to converse and exchange. Your rule of the day could be if YOU were a newbie reading what YOUI are about to post would it have a positive or negative impact on your future life in S Scale. Going to get supplies to continue expanding my layout..
