- I didn't mean anything as a personal criticism. I may have deleted
- the wrong lines when I edited the note to which I was replying. I
- often find it difficult, due to the characteristics I guess of different
- mailer programs, to know exactly who is posting a note - especially when
- they don't include a signature. I'm certainly not interested in
- "shooting anybody down". We all have erasers on our pencils, as it were,
- and a good way to learn about many topics (and it's certainly true of
- the arcane topic of railroad history) is to make a statement and see what
- comments it brings forth. "Run it up the flagpole and see who salutes!"
