Hey, I'm way ahead in the queue! (and I can't see the front of it from here :-)

appear once. Nowdays with the more

are relatively common.

Absolutely, but the dies would not be destroyed because they discontinued the product line. That would be like a wholesale company buying 10 brand new trucks and 6 months later they decide to give the delivery contract to an outside company so they scrap the 10 trucks. Dies are assets just like trucks would be. They'd hang on to them or sell them.

I bought Dianetics about 15 years ago and made the mistake of sending in the card in the back of the book. That started it. I would get phone calls and handwritten notes from these people continuously. The book made no sense whatsoever. They are like a cult.

Exactly Richard, hence the reason I posted the question. I wanted to see if there was ANY validity to the post. Where else could one go to find out? Should I have let the original statement go unchallenged if I had doubts about it? I saw something that sounded out of the ordinary and sought explanation. I posted it not to start a "rumor" as I have been accused of but to challenge an unsubstantiated statement. We now see my mistake was not challenging the statement in the newsgroup it was posted on. It was on the Railroad Modeler newsgroup not here.

And for posting this I get falsly accused of starting a rumor by an individual on this newsgroup (not you Richard).

Well, here I disagree with you Charles - they ARE a cult.

Mark.

After pissing on your grave I will apologize.

Well alrighty then.

Don't be shy tell us how you really feel.

Charles, you needn't worry so. Your intemperate correspondent, after a few posts that were somewhat lucid and that contributed a little to the general good, has reverted to his usual personna. Over time, he has castigated most posters to this newsgroup over one imagined slight or another.

It's like observing Texas Legistlators - as long as you are from a different state. You wonder just what they are on about and and marvel that organisms without a central consciousness can cause so much tempest. In the end you tire of the foolish behavior and recognize that it has not a thing at all to do with you. To engage it/him is much like the vaunted description of pig wrestling - it does nothing other than get you dirty and it annoys the pig.

Ignore the pig

And keep contributing the dialogue on r.m.r. Regular contributors recognize understand the source of the disquiet and do not equate you with it.

Why all the animosity on this thread over what is, after all, a non-issue?

So, the molds were, or were not, destroyed. Who the heck cares?

That'll keep him from molesting your sheep, too.

. . . and found it had absolutely no help for your kidney problems?

Hey s*it for brains. He asked a question, if anyone remembered who originally posted about the alledged destruction of the Bachmann molds and on what thread it had been posted.

"In a recent post someone said the Bachmann Spectrum building molds were intentionally destroyed. I think I remember reading that but cannot find which post it was. I find it very hard to believe this is true. Anyone remember reading (or posting) this?

CBix"

That's not a rumor.

If you can't answer the question, then shut up moron.

He doesn't need a logic course but you need to learn to read for comprehension.

You need to take a logic course or get better at starting rumours.

He does too?, I can barely manage one...

For best effect, thread it in one and out the other!

A friend's Mum knitted him a woolly train - that was in Wellington. It made a reasonable draught stopper - vital in that city!

Which one is Jim?
