Rich,
I agree wholeheartedly. I left for awhile because of the negativity and comments of the few. I've come back in the last few months and it started to get to me again. Then i noticed the "block this member" option. I've been using it frequently, too frequently as of late. I've learned an amazing amount since I found this forum and I appreciate the help I have received. Thank you for what you do, I let the few bother me and left, but I was missing the many good and helpful folks here, so I'm back is see "you've blocked this member" here and there and I can live with that. I'm just glad there is a resource like this and hope it continues to be a source of knowledge, ideas and fun. That's why I play with trains. I get enough of the other the rest of the day, I don't need it involving my relaxation and hobby.
Kevin
