Dave And The Group:
I have worked for the CB&Q/BN/BNSF for 34 years. My current work environment
is probably the most restrictive I have ever worked in. I said nothing that
I would not expect to hear in that environment and a great deal less then
what I am used to hearing.
It seems that you want to take the "Railroad" out of a Railroad Historical
Society.
"Chain Letters" are degrading in themselves. I did not say what I really
would have liked to say. In my mind it was a rather mild message, only
one sentence.
When I first got into this Internet thing I told my children that I did
not care what they got or sent in their E-Mail as long as it did not
involve "Chain Letters".
I am not going to "Apologize" to anyone for anything. If the Historical
Society is hanging their hat on this list then I will have to think long
and hard about that $40 check next year.
Have a safe day!
