Sorry, I have no idea what you are saying here. I said nothing about a lack of information from TLG.

Your original post seemed to imply to me that you a) considered 9V trains to be saved and b) did this because you had seen no further information on the issue (which I perhaps mistakenly thought meant from TLG as opposed to from secondary sources). I would draw no such conclusion from the information presented on Save9VTrains or any other source short of an active statement by TLG themselves.

   I just find it over the top for someone to get so upset about something that does not appear to be a big concern for the community. If 9V was still in trouble why is there no current campaign under way? The last update on Save9VTrains.org is a review of the Hobby Train set.

If a site dedicated to this cause has nothing to say on the subject for four months I think we can cut the ambassadors a little slack if they did not include it in their current issues list.

If you would like to see more people needlessly complaining I’m sure that can be arranged. Perhaps Save9VTrains should have a message on the front page requesting that people kick up a fuss regularly.

I don’t think that any website should be responsible for constantly rehashing the same issue. Ambassadors should. Leaving a major AFOL issue off the list posted here makes it seem like the Ambassadors aren’t doing their job with respect to 9V train users. Personally I don’t really think the Ambassadors would make any difference whatsoever to this issue which is why you won’t find me complaining but it would be nice for them to at least pretend.

(...) Actually while I would not support "needlessly complaining" if it is still an issue, and Save9VTrains is the HQ of the effort to actually do something about it, then yes they should have some sort of updates on a regular basis. For instance (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
