Just noticed I’ve now received my first star.
When I entered this forum in July I was computer illiterate and this was my first forum. I stupidly mentioned my password , mistaking it for my ID. Several of you kindly took me to task to which I said I would not be so stupid to enter my password. MY SINCERE APOLOGIES.
I’ve been a railfan for many years and thought I knew a lot about railroads, but since joining this forum I realize how little I know (we get too soon old and too late smart) Many thanks to all of you who have educated me these last few months.
Congrats on number 1 and best wishes for many more!
…We need good railfans…We can all learn as we participate. Congrats on first star.

The only Morse I know is SOS [:0].
WELCOME, and please keep it up, we need more and continued interaction on this wonderful forum.
To all those who say they know S O S If you say its . . . - - - . . .
Well I say thats not how I’d send it. As I learned it was . . . . . . . .
The first in international morse, and the second is railroad or American morse.
When the Titanic sank it sent out its distress signals in Int’l code and most of the landline stations used American code, so there was quite a bit of condfusion.
“s” is three dots “O” is dot space dot.
wow, i didnt know that morseman. So, i guess i now my little bit of morse. Good work.

Sssshhhhh! [:O] You’ll attract the attention of the CIPP (Correctness In Posting Poilce), who’ll soon inform you that stars are a meaningless, ego-building, waste of time and that they should be banned from the forum along with anything that resembles an Off Topic Post. [:D]
Congratulations, by the way.
Remember that quality of posts counts more than quantity (but not in star count, though). And that a good question is as important and valuable a post as a good answer.
