I want to complain about how all these complaint threads get more reply postings in a shorter period of time than your typical thread about something useful in the hobby!
I will support Dave, Midnight, and any others of a like mind on this one. Rant or not, on or off topic, relevant or silly, if you post something on the internet, at least use a spell check so you don’t appear ignorant. In fact, a properly spelled and punctuated post might actually lend some credibility to whatever it is you wish to complain or comment about.
Here is how to do it. Open a “word” document, write what you want to say, then go to the toolbar under “spelling and grammar” or hit F7, correct your errors, then cut and paste your writing onto the forum. Almost too easy. Unless of course you really are ignorant then it doesn’t matter anyway.
M: I want to complain.
C: You want to complain! Look at these shoes. I’ve only had them three weeks and the heels are worn right through.
M: No, I want to complain about…
C: If you complain nothing happens, you might as well not bother.
M: Uggh!
C: Oh my back hurts, it’s not a very fine day and I’m sick and tired of this office.
(Slams door. walks down corridor, opens next door.)
M: Hello, I want to…(stranger grabs his hand and hits him on the head) Ooooh!
H: No, no, no. Hold your head like this, then go Waaah. Try it again.
M: (again hits him) uuuwwhh!!
H: Better, Better, but Waah, Waah! Put your hand there.
M: No.
H: Now…
M: (again hits him harder) Waaaaah!!!
H: Good, Good! That’s it.
M: Stop hitting me!!
H: What?
M: Stop hitting me!!
H: Stop hitting you?
M: Yes!
H: Why did you come in here then?
M: I wanted to complain.
H: Oh no, that’s next door. It’s being-hit-on-the-head lessons in here.
M: What a stupid concept.
I cleaned out my cookies on Friday night, so I couldn’t log in all weekend while the system maintenance was being performed. As a result, I was forced to shut off the computer, go OUTSIDE _shudder,_ get some exercise and enjoy the beautiful weather. I hope Trains.com sees to it that this never happens again, or I’ll run the risk of losing my winter tan.
