Interesting thread. 
I too would/will be sorry to see ya go. I have always made it a point to read your posts in my years here, as they have usually been interesting and/or fun.
As to the dreck *I* post, except for the occasional joke I can't resist, I try to stick to facts requested by others or picky corrections to errors. I also try to remember to cite my sources. I try to avoid "Me Too" posts in general. (almost skipped this one )Well that's how I see myself, others may have a different view!
D&S/C&TS/CRRM/Knot's/etc threads I will dip into form time to time, mostly when new or when I see a post by someone I particularly respect.
On the whole Lobato Bridge issue, I'm mostly amused by the number of people who want instant gratification, either in the form of trains running via some oddball shofly or in the form of all the data, right now! Things take time people! Wait a bit before ya start heating the oil! (there's a reason I sometimes read the Goat, but I don't post there) This time next year, we should probably know what's up.
OK that's enough, Bye Festus, you'll be missed.
