Spot on, Margaret (as usual). I viewed two VR railcams (Ashland, VA, and HSC)and most of the chat room comments came from foreigners who would brag about their rail systems being better than ours. The bright spot was the rewind feature so you could go back for the past three hours and check the action without having to sit through the banal comments ("When is the Auto Train due?" or "It would be great to see a steam engine going through the curve.") I would never pay to watch them. FWIW!
