Iain,
No need to apologize. I was reacting to your post with a little humor (some
would say very little). I think that it is best to handle a difference of
opinion and get a chuckle at the same time. There are others who see
something posted of which they don't approve and flame you. There are yet
others who wouldn't know a joke if it flew up their nose. Either way,
ignore them, maybe they will go away.
To each his own, and I hope you enjoy the "train scene".
By the way, have you checked out Ben's Lego Train Page?
http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~rbeneke/lego/ben_abs.html It's really
something.
Play well,
-BrewB
PS I am in no way affiliated nor related to "Ben" Benecke. I'm just a fan
of his work.

| (...) Just a question-- this is about the fourth time you have butchered Ben *BENEKE*'s name. Or is this some more of that subtle humor here that I'm missing? -John (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
