This goes both ways, there are some events that get downright upset if you even
start boxing up unused rolling stock.
As to whether to attend or not, that one would be a no brainer for me. Unless
you're getting paid or the cause is really really good or you just don't have
many events available to you, you should say no. And you should explain why.
MichLTC is getting to the point where it can be choosy about what events to
attend and behaviour like this is certainly a negative factor.
