- Just some unsolicited advice from a plastic modeller who used to do
- some 'model engineering' (a couple of Sterling engines):
-
- I'd suggest you hang out here in rec.models.scale, simply because _not_all_
- of model engineering is railroads.
-
- If the traffic specific to engineering models starts bugging the plastic
- folks, we'll complain, and work out a solution. If you want to pre-empt
- that, then pick a subject-line flag and use it religously, like:
- Subject: MEng: the boiler Joe's working on
-
- And then everyone can use a killfile if they don't want to see it. But
- standardize it *completely* because some newsreaders have case-sensitive
- killfiles (i.e. MEng != Meng)
-
- Now, that was just a suggestion, you're welcome to ignore it.
