You forgot 'Old Rasputin', Willie -
Named for one of the NGDF's most purely hard-hearted monitors, a troll known for suspending unsuspecting newbies without warning the first time they use the 'N' word ('N-I-M-B-Y') or dare to mention any standard-gauge diseasels other than maybe an ALCO PA-1 in Daylight or Warbonnet colors.
And BTW, Willie, you're a good one to talk — IMHO there's no excuse whatsoever for your post at [ngdiscussion.net]
