Whenever I sign on to the Yahoo Groups area, I check the volume of posts for the S-scale group. When the volume exceeds 200 to 300 for the week, I know there is a wacky discussion going on -- something on the order of "what we need is" or "what is wrong is" or "in my opinion", etc., etc.
There is a lot of great modeling going on out there in S-scale land, but it all gets drowned out by the waves of postings about not much at all. Here's a modest proposal for the group and for the moderators: Why don't we all as a group try to post only messages about actual modeling activity, modeling techniques, questions about modeling techniques, searches for a model or part, etc. FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK? This will have to be self-moderating, but let's see as a group if we can focus on the fun of S-scale model railroading for just one week. Just a thought. By the way, sometime in the last few weeks, there was some discussion about reviving the 3/16 SIG in the NMRA. This sounds like a worthwhile idea, but I can't find the post of the person looking for recruits.
