Maybe.  But you ARE whining.

Am I? I had a look back through my posting that this is
(I think) about.
In it I remarked that I was glad for the people who'd been
able to benefit from BB by buying blue hopper cars (implying:
no matter which country they were from). I expressed sadness
that it does look as if due to the actions of a small minority
more people were not able to benefit similarly, and said I hoped
people would be a bit more responsible in future.
I also expressed a wish
that Shop@Home would offer the same services that BB does.

You might note that at no point did I express any dissatisfaction with
the number of blue hopper cars that I personally managed to get -
in fact in a previous post I specifically said I was happy with my lot.
So it certainly wasn't a post of the selfish I-want-more-for-me type,
which you could have argued might be whining.

Sorry, but I can't see how any of what I wrote
could possibly constitute 'whining'
So perhaps if you are still convinced that any of the above amounts to
'whining', you could explain why?
