As do I, but some of the recent condescension taints it a bit. I'm hearing some bogeyman arguments with questionable evidence to back it up. We part company on them being chronically correct, as well. These so called 'foamers' that they piss on are the same people who plink down 40 bucks for a MOD trip, and who knows how much for various memberships to transit museums. I understand cameraderie between veterans and I sure do appreciate the need to vent, but I think some of the comments made were a bridge too far.Some railfans run trains at museums. Others maintain and rebuild the rolling stock. Others build models and track layouts in their homes. Some enjoy creating fantasy maps of their ideal systems. Others enjoy the pleasure of simply riding on a train. Others enjoy photographing railroads. It's all good, and there's no need to make this like a pissing contest at a fetish convention. your pal, Fred |
