I've seen enough! The bickering is going to get totally out of hand now-
since this 'commercialism' stuff started. There are some of us who are in
the group because of our love for the CB&Q/C&S/FW&D and because the BRHS is
one of the best historical groups I've seen. I carry publications from half
a dozen historical groups in my place of business (is this commercialism or
part of a statement?) and the Burlington Bulletin is the best- hands down.
Some members who are involved in the 'commercial' hobby business whether it
be Hobby Stores, Manufacturing or Publishing contribute a hell of a lot of
useful information to this list and when they get a belly full of the 'he
said- she said' bickering- they are going to say 'piss on it' and we are
going to lose them and what they could have continued to contribute. I can
tell you this- If I ever stumbled across an unopened case of PFM Crown
(Toby) O5b's that I picked up for pennies on the dollar- I would offer them
to the BRHS members first, on this list, and I would definitely tell them
where they could buy them and where to send the money. If I didn't- you
would all tar and feather me for not offering them to you- first! Half of my
emails (about 40 to 60 a day) are 'spam' or things I am not interested in,
and if I choose not to read them I simply delete them. I think members who
don't want to read about some new information or products from stores,
manufacturers or publishers can do the same so we don't sacrifice losing
quality information from commercial members.
