Regarding cross posting (i.e., posting messages simultaneously to this list
and FC): I dunno what the list owner prefers, so Mike, speak up here, but
for myself, I *strongly* prefer people do not crosspost. With railroads &
ice hockey I get in excess of 100 e-mails a day right now (it'll peak at
over 200/day in April when the Sharks hit the playoffs). I'm an agressive
delete-er, but that nonetheless, redundant messages are NOT welcomed by me.

Hockey?

I would think that, given the purpose of the STMFC, cross posting would be
kept at a minimum. I certainly don't advocate sending stuff to both sites.
If I wonder why an N&W hopper body is sitting behind a small bank in
Rawlins, WY, being used as a garbage disposal, I wouldn't inquire to the FC
but, would, instead, tweak those on the SMTFC...primarily because some might
find this interesting [ painfully, perhaps ] and someone in the group may
have actually been involved with having it put there. I said, BTW, IF I
wondered.....

Mike and friends,

I agree strongly with Dave on this one. Since I do all my e-mail at work
using stolen moments between tasks, I can't afford the time for deleting
duplicate messages.

Kind regards,
