When the alleged idiot/thug/arrogant webmaster keeps his mouth and actions out of the conversations, it's a decent website. A few years ago, it was GREAT! But once he became more and more obsessive (in my opinion) and controlling, people left in droves. For those of you who have been around a while, you know that folks like Boomer, cs16, topper, DrewJacksich, smitty195, espeeboy, kodachrome9319 (a few of those come and go every now and then), and so on.....those guys contributed great stuff. We all became friends, and publicly traded information and updates on that website. But all of those guys, and more, are gone. They want no part of what goes on there. If you only see what's on the surface, you are fortunate. But just wait until you get a nasty message from the "webmaster" calling you a jerk for posting something. Just wait---it WILL happen. Don't forget in his last annual newsletter, he mocked a few of his paying members for things that they said and did, and used these people as examples to be laughed at. Also keep in mind that a terrible thing happened where a TO member's mother killed herself by standing in front of an Amtrak train, and the alleged idiot/jerk/piece of crap webmaster continues to allow members to post things about "Darwin Award" winners, including the one where the mother killed herself, and the TO member read these words about his mother. The "Darwin" comments are plastered all over that asinine website, but if anyone were to DARE point out to the "webmaster" how inappropriate that is (as I did, and was kicked off for it), then you better be prepared for what's coming. And I can't say much more about this next one, but just know that Union Pacific RR Management HATES that website, and HATES the "webmaster". All of this is allegedly, to protect myself of course. Allegedly, they would like nothing better than to see that whole thing go away. National Security secrets (yep, that's right folks!) and secret proprietary moves are knowingly posted there when they are not supposed to be. Again, this is all alleged.......to protect myself from the silly lawsuits and threats that the "webmaster" allegedly likes to do. I'm trying to do a favor and public service for those who are not "in the know" about what is going on over there. And for you die-hards who support him, more power to you......You now have an education on things, and you can decide whatever you'd like to do. It doesn't matter to me, but as I said, "Buyer Beware!".

That's not necessarily true. It's true that once you pick your screen name, that's your screen name. But somebody named "Joe Smith" can choose a screen name of "Bill Jones" without any problem. But I do see what you mean.
