While my better judgement tells me to ignore you, I just have to ask you if you have E V E R said anything positive about ANYONE when you post here?
I do not know John Craft and wouldn't recognize him if he walked by me on the street. I have never met Dick Cowles, though I have talked to him on the phone before.
What I do know is how Jay hates both of them, and never misses a chance to bash them at every opportunity. I don't know if he, (Jay) is right or wrong about what he says about them.
What I DO KNOW is that John Craft, Dick Cowles, and John West, and others all jumped in at a critical time in the railroad's history and did what they could to help keep it running.
Did the RGRPC make mistakes, SURE!, MANY! Would any one of these people tell you this? I am sure if you asked them, they would ALL say HELL YES to that question!
Would you please let ALL of us know just what YOU have done to support the railroad??? You obviously have done ALOT, because you seem to think you are justified to take it on yourself to point out all of the others mistakes.
When you list all of your accomplishments, remember to not list sitting on your duff at a computer keyboard and taking potshots at people who at least TRIED to do good while hiding behind your moniker.
I would have backchanneled this, but you seem to be afraid to leave an email address...
