Rotor,
Looks like Google is using it for their definitions nowadays, I know in the past they used Websters, I was told by an SEO (search engine optimization) firm, they taught the spiders the websters dictionary to train them for search relevence.
This is all the garbage I am trying to forget, since I spent almost 7 years in the web industry, with SEO being the big thing towards the end, remember Google is your friend for just about anything you want to know [;)]
Whoa buddy, watch what you say. Nice thing to say when this topic is about CLEANING up the forum. Sorry to flame, but that post really pisses me off.

I treat this like I do TV; if I am offended, I leave. If I choose to reply (or watch), I have no one to blame but myself. After all, when we initiate or reply to a thread, we are inviting someone to read what is posted (right?), and to reply in kind. If we post something that any one reader concludes is contrary, closed minded, full of ****, incomplete, or perfectly sensible, and that person chooses to engage us by replying, then we have a conversation. It may be obtuse, volatile, inflammatory, arcane, funny, outrageous, technical, boring, or utterly neutral (some would also call that boring). We all choose to be here, whether silent or not.
All that rant aside, I also find some threads repetetive, and have just stopped myself from sending in a biting remark. In fact, I chastised a member earlier this year for doing that, so I had better be extra careful…[:I] Don’t want me backside out in the breeze. Them cinders hurt!!
Let the trolls, witches, orcs, and wights have their due, friends. All are God’s creatures. If you can’t abide them, hurry by…don’t make eye contact.
SEO, ISP, www,…I’m so confused! [;)]
I’m literally computer stupid!
For over 40 years I never had a computer, and now I have to learn everything! [:D]
It’s bad when I have to ask The Kid how to do something! [:I]
I kinda envy the computer literate folks out here. Maybe my web sites could sctually make money, if I only knew what I was doing!

Rotor, keep bugging the kid, I find my mom, girlfriend, her family and anyone that knows I did computer stuff calling me all the time, I started to tell them it will $$ for my help. I spent more of my free time working then when I was at the office.
Now model railroading, not to many in the family, or around me to get that way, infact I am pushing a couple of guys I knew through the old business into the hobby [:)]
I’m on several other forums, and believe me, next to some of the contributors on the other forums, we on THIS forum are a group of incredibly well-behaved, highly civilized hobbyists who all deserve medals for both good sense, good manners and respect for each other’s individuality.
I am currently on a forum where the moderator is seriously thinking of closing the forum down completely. He’s had to delete so many topics because of one or two Trolls who are poisoning the threads so completely that we’re becoming afraid to post. Now THAT’S destructive behavior simply for its own sake, not even the sake of an honest argument. And if he blocks them, they simply return under another name.
Believe me, fellas, even the occasional explosion we have on this forum is NOTHING like what it gets like on some of the others. For myself, I thank you all, everyone here makes this forum a pleasure to visit.

Whoa, whoa, JoeyM7899, unless half the adults here go to school, that won’t take care of the problem! And Alec, what you said is fine in my book, it’s posts like JoeyM7899’s that made me create this thread.

Rotorranch… agree with that!
I’m planning to get from my first childhood to my second with as little interuption as possible.
Thought this thread was rubbish but you’ve got a point.
I play with the biggest trainset in the country 1:1 ratio.
If anyone upsets me I just throw my rattle out of the pram.
Come on someone…object that, that’s being childish!
