I have made the choice only to post in a couple of groups. I read a great
deal, but LUGENT is not the place it used to be. I agree that Larry does
post more than me. The difference is, when I post outside this group I try
to be 100% constructive. I have to be, or LUGNET's airhead exercises his
vendetta on me. Larry winds all sorts of people up in all sorts of ways. You
would be amazed at the e-mails I get from time-to-time.
Take a look at the thread which started this. Read all the posts up to the
point where Larry broke the rules. Tell me what I did wrong?

I don't - not time. The economic slow down gives me less motivation to make
time to sell (to be honest).

Oh, I do. I built my 1st set last night in a long time... Summer has now
well and truly ended here. We have quite a few kids visiting over Xmas and I
am trying to put together some trains for them.

Like I say above, I always try to be positive. I do not bicker in other
groups. Others want me to...
