37. Well In That Case Thank You For The Warm Welcome

Nov 2013

OK...this new member searched the forum and learned what MIRT is.

So rather than a canned, polite, ''Welcome-and-thank-you-for-joining-us-and-posting-your-thoughts-but-I-AM-ON-MIRT-which-means-...-and-this-topic-is-inappropriate-we-hope-you-find-something-else-of-interest-perhaps-try-a-topic-that-is-more-recent-or-maybe-try-this-Forum-or-that-Group" message you jump on my case for my first post to this group and to Public Transportation And Smart Growth!

The Terms of Service do not explicitly prohibit use of the word "f_ing" but it adds nothing to your, IMO, inappropriate response. Enjoy the rest of your 90 days....

While I can see the value of retaining the discussion from a historical perspective, can it be closed if it is a "zombie thread"?

Car worship? Hardly. The show is just a discussion of things that go wrong with cars The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2013 #41
