Charles, rest assured you are NOT among the bunch I was talking about.

There are guys on the other sites who never participate in the discussions. They start new threads all the time to post their own photos and that's it. You click on the thread and there's barely a sentence or two about what you're looking at. I'm just plain sick of these people. They are what I'd call broadcasters looking for praise.

Like the old addage says, a picture is worth a thousand words, but it's horribly obvious these railfans are not trying to tell a story.... In their minds THEY are the story.
