Ok, some of you want to play semantics to steer Zack and I off course but I will not be distracted. Please stick to the subject, gentlemen. Thank you for your cooperation.

As a matter of fact there's an elderly lady who thinks she owns the diamonds that I have a beer with from time to time. She supports this cause 100%!

As a matter of fact I can be much more irrelevant than thatw Don Simon ever was.

And here's the latter...

It has been suggested that I remind everyone again the importance of having Avatars and User Names that match.

For example, and I am not singling any one out, this is just a random example, if your User Name is ConRail somethingorother then your Avatar should be something of ConRail. Not BNSF, not UP, not a kitty kat.

If your User Name is, say W@, and again I am not singling any one out, perhaps you could use an Avatar of another symbol such as "#" or "%" or "&". I am just saying.

You will have a firm but generous amount of time to make your corrections.

Thank you for your cooperation :)

I see no reason why people's avatars and user names have to match. Remember when I had a Santa Fe FP45 as my avatar? I might just go change it back now.

Could everyone please make sure your Avatars and User Names match.

Again, I am not singling anyone out, but if your username is "Crow T Robot", you should have an Avatar of the robot and not the GN mountain goat.

And more than a few of you seem to pick kitty kat Avatars but use railroad usernames. Decide which theme you want to go with and be consistent. In fact, here is a great Avatar for RRFanAdmin
Image
You see, Username = RRFanAdmin and Avatar = Administrator. It is balanced. :) Not that there is anything wrong with kitty kats but if you prefer then you could change your username to Cat somethingother and keep the cat Avatar. Just saying guys...

If that's the case, why do you have a picture of TrainWatcher as your avatar? Least you could do is not be a hypocrite.

Sounds like you should've made your user name SOOLineSD60 then.

I did it to have the same User name on both things. The SOO line shot is the best screenshot from my channel besides Episode 4. I also like the SOO line one because it had 2 SOO SD60s, with one painted in Hockey Stick Livery and the other in Candy Apple Red. Nice photo for a little video camera (moving at that time to)
