I can understand your frustration. My own view is that anytime you post
something it seems to be fairly random as far as the response. I've posted
some things that I didn't think were all that important and had 32 e-mail
replies and generated a lot of traffic, other times, interesting stuff just
dies. Sounds like you had a cool layout, wish I could have seen it.
One thing I would like to say though is that your web-site being down is a
major bummer since a lot of people find out about organizations that way. I
(living in Georgia) visited the NGLTC site and asked the two contacts to send
me an e-mail on their next show and got no response, so I'm still waiting to
see a lego train show (although I did see the pictures posted of yours and I
thought it was awesome). So it can work both ways. If you ever head south,
let me know!
