Ya Know after all the years of this magaizine its still nice to see it show up at the door.
Its nice to have a place you can direct folks to.
This isn't a kiss up because I contribute.
Its the fact that even with rock throwers and all the critics we still have a mag we can call ours.
I to have been disoppointed at times untill I get my focus right and additude ajusted.
Some only worry about getting their "moneys worth".

Do you ever get "your" moneys worth on anything??
Not having the mag is hard to imagine.

So I say thanks to all those who TRY and stick their necks out on the line to keep the magazine going..

Get on with making the Hobby grow.

Well after a nice hot bubble bath and had fun with my battle ships and subs,
the simple fact is NOT to condem a whole magizine or web site because of one or two things.
The toy train folks, HO modelers, collectors all have us GRRers in a little box.
So we need to stick together.
I to have shot my mouth off and said stuff when I should not. but keeping the relationships is important.
Keeping the lines of comunication open etc.
I' sure this thread will not go as long as the (-) ones but . GRRers will go on.

So much for positive notes on this one, also the last word Strong was not a pun.
I also want to point out that I understand the "need" for operation and a purpose for the RR.
But in REAL LIFE most visitors here just want to see the trains run around. Many folks use the word that I hate most, cute.. But Cute sales. look at the bug like things Arsito sales. I'd use them for paintball practice.
Even whimsical is not found on my RR ,BUT when I took the photo of the snow monster in the plow car I got the greatest responce ever EVER from e-mails on that photo.
What can we say, ????

I'm lost, I don't see a problem. Mark and many others I see post on here and I feel I know them well. I don't worry about little things.

The bigger things to worry about is my 18 year old got MIP last night and now I have to deal with that. All four boys knows that I WON'T bail them out of jail.

Ol Kevin has to Work for a living, write articals to support his hobby, be a dad, husband and then come here to exsplain everything....
I don't think he ever relaxes.
I think,,"think" that I can say I accept all aspects of the hobby but for folks saying untruths about something. Untruths meaning pushing an issue to one side so far that there is not two sides to every issue.
Does that make cents?
I try to encouage those who have no idea what they are doing.
I put up with those who know ,,everything.
I "try" to be open minded about changes.
I don't need to be around those who don't want me around.
But I will not quit because of one or two folks.
I lost the rest of my thoughts.?????
