I have an idea. Call this a suggestion for the forum director. Trust me, I'm perfectly sane right now, in a pleasant state of mind. This is a suggestion only. Since it is obvious that I am, and I apologize if this gets anyone's dander up, but I am still a candidate for the "kiddy pool". I'm not ready to move to deeper water, nor am I knowledgeable enough to jump off the diving board. I can't be the only person out here that is in my shape. Would it be too much to ask for a "model trains for dummies." A forum where other members, with the knowledge that what they read will be a hodge-podge of questions that show the writer's lack of knowledge, would be willing to, as all of you have been, to dispense your years of knowledge and help novices like myself get our layouts running efficiently and answer some what would be considered "dumb" questions for the other forums.
I know, there are no dumb questions. Well, if you attend a symposium of scholars who wish to discuss the dynamics of Picasso and how his life affected his art and changed the modern world, and you stand up and ask, "why did he put her left breast under her chin?" For this audience, that's a dumb question.
Well, as much as I have tried to keep my questions on par with the forum I have delved into to ask the question, it is apparent that, and I understand fully, that some of my threads and replies have started to bring out the, "oh for goodness sakes" answers. If we had a forum that was titled, "the novice" or "A beginners guide to model railroading", then skies the limit to what questions you are going to see. At least this way the adults can talk without the kids interrupting them.
Just a thought. Sorry if I ****ed anyone off.
