Hi Mark,
Sorry I keep forgetting your name, hard to keep track of all the members.

Sounds like you are on top of the situation, please keep us informed of your progress. Your solutions will be useful for other members with similar problems. On this forum, as you learn be prepared to also teach others.

Heck, we have all types of personalities here.  "Trouble" is my middle name, if they can put up with me, they can tolerate anybody.   

Good luck

I guess I'm an old fogey and shouldn't criticize but I do not like the new casual style of writing and would have gotten a large "F" in school if I would have written a letter, report, essay or any other form of communication with absolutely no capitol letters.  I've been scanning  your posts and they are extremely difficult to read and follow.  I'm in a position of hiring new people and if a resume came across my desk written like that it would end up in the circular file.

Personally, Mark, I'll miss you being around.  Hope you'll change your mind.  Sometimes folks think they're being helpful and forget what is and isn't their business.

The grammar and composition police never seem to get a pleasant reception on any message board I read.  Your opening statement was right on, you really ought not criticize.

[Yampa Bob]

You've heard it many times: "Never judge a book by its cover". It's what's inside a man that makes a man, not by his articulation or skill at the keyboard.

This board isn't about spelling, capitalization, punctuation or grammar, it's about Model Railroading.

Mark, in your short time as a member, you have made many friends. Feel free to visit and post as often as you like, you will always be wecome.

I'm sending you an e-mail so you will have my address, write me anytime you wish.
