Jay--Jay!
You're obviously confused again. The goal of the "Friends" is not and never has been the maintainance and repair of the locomotives. It is true that there have been several special funds (like the Ralph Flowers Fund) seeking donations specifically for locomotive repair. I'm sure that if you require an accounting of expeditures, it can be obtained.
I wonder if this "arrogance" you speak of isn't really sour grapes because of the "Friends" ejecting you because of your beligerance.
It amazes me that you can't see that your negative postings do exactly opposite what you claim you try to do--help the railroad. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!
Actually, I probably should ignore your ranting as I believe most people have already learned to do. You definitely do some positive things for the railroad. If you could only control yourself, you could really help.
