Posted by JOE @ NYCTMG - NYCMTS on Fri Aug 19 12:24:25 2005, in response to Re: 76th Street (Was: Re: posting), posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Fri Aug 19 08:56:27 2005. Hello Chris: People on this board (and some, but fewer and fewer, come to this board from outside the usual genre here) for, expecting, valid, useful information, not nonsense. Some of the more responsible individuals on this thread are trying to uncover and learn something factual, rather than fantasy. And some few other responsible and knowledgeable people on this thread have posted substantiative indepth info from "their as stated, legtimate sources" to provide more viable background info. I knew your " 76th ST " photo was a fake from its onset, and I didnt comment on for quite a while. Nor did I at all about the "other" obvious "IRT style" photo because I knew it was too obvious to be an unintentional error. AND I waited and read thru all the thread posts for some time before I finally replied to yours to end that "image" issue with facts...not innuendo. I also knew long before, and from the onset of this thread, that the "Brennan 76th Street Page" was his obvious and intentional "Aprils Fools" Joke from 3 years ago...and said nothing..waiting to see how long some the so called "knowledgeable experts" here could uncover that actual fact (heh) ...instead of rambling on senselessly with nonsense. Your joke, tho amusing, serves as, and I know not intentionally as such, a discredit and waste, disuse of space and time to those many individuals here who seek valid, true and "legitimate" info. As far as "me" taking things seriously, as far as where knowledge, history, technology, industry, the legal and medicine industry, and etc etc., and facts are concened, that is "standard" and code as to what the intelligent and dedicated, conscientious professional people operate under who make things in this world work. And yes, in my professional careers, and as a long time and published Transit Historian, I do take things seriously "when it counts" in, for, fact and accuracy, and will take a stand for the benefit of many serious seekers of knowledge, when a few unintentionally, in error, or intentionally try to as a joke, pass bogus information, images, etc in a forum, or thread issue, seeking validity. Which is WHAT I did here. If I and mostly all of the Historian (and Transit Modeler) types in my circles outside of this Sub Chat forum, had your negative attitude about "serious", the authenticity and factual validity of what we write, publish, or model, would be useless and always suspect. Perhaps that why almost all of them do not share their 30, 40, 50 + years of Transit know here at this Forum. Additionally, for persons coming to this forum to have to wade thru endlesss nonsense and jokes of a, any, thread to find 4 or 5 buried postings that actually contain the truly sought out, valid, substantative info, defeats the purpose of a large forum board of this type, and did for the former Sub Talk Board, which Dave (Mr. Pirrman) shut down for good, after many stated warnings, for that and other endlesss uncivil behaviors by some, most of whom didnt take anything there "seriously" either -- to the loss of many. I rest my case....but you can continue to have fun here...as usual.... To the OTHER Poster....again, one of the "knoweledgeable ones"...so that YOU (and others you "knowledgeably" mis-informed herein) know, there is absolutely NO CORK material of any kind anywhere, in anything, created on my layout, and my streetcar rails that the railcar model seen in MY photo can run on, are made of steel girder rail, not cork, NOR are any of the street surfaces, anywhere, of cork. Just again "being serious" of fact...if you can relate to that. You wouldnt want your doctor, surgeon, attorney, contractor, dentist, and so on, to not take your case, its case file facts, data, and history, as a client, seriously, would you?? I didnt think So. Guys, have a great day ! Regards - Joe |
