If you do NOT like the York Meet of the TCA, don't like the meet rules, and/or don't want to participate in any way, shape, or form, please--I'm begging you--stay home and play trains or find some other activity to fill your hours and mind.
Your absence will simply make it possible/easier for those of us who DO enjoy the meet to (1) find decent hotel rooms at reasonable rates, (2) locate parking spots closer to our favorite York halls, (3) avoid long lines in traffic and long wait times at popular restaurants, (4) enjoy unimpeded navigation of aisles in the various halls, and (5) find more neat goodies for our respective collections and layouts.
Attendance at the York Meet is NOT mandatory for anyone. Those who have negative vibes about the event should simply stay away and avoid any and all online (in particular) discussions about the meet.
