- I'm sure you're sincere in your opinion, Bruce.
-
- But with all due respect, why did you dedicate an entire message to this
- tired, dogmatic flame of an old debate that everyone's heard too much of?
-
- I mean, this *is* rec.railroad. If we wanted to argue about Colorado 2, we'd
- be reading and posting to alt.politics.homosexuality. But the point is we
- *don't*. We want to talk about trains.
-
- Remember that many of us have strong opinions on lots of things, including
- Colorado 2. Many, like you, would feel obligated to speak our opinions on
- those issues if they came across our terminals.
-
- Which is exactly *why* we read rec.railroad - we're trying to get *away* from
- the flame wars. If we wanted flame wars, we'd read alt.*.
-
- Please be courteous by not bringing up the flame wars to us.
