Re: Railfan shop; greetings from Albert

[Chris Brownbill <cbrnbill@enternet.com.au>]

The real Albert is not 'on-line', and he did not post this message.

Albert is a genuine person, who like us all, has his failings.  Those who know
Albert appreciate the enormous amount of work he puts into the railfan
environment, and into a surprisingly varied number of other community areas.  

You've got the right to say what you want of course, but some of the comments
betray behaviour worse than that of which you are accusing Albert.

We must accept that, like it or not, railfanning attracts more than its quota of
eccentrics - if you can't tolerate it then you've got way more than Albert to
contend with.

A sign of a mature society is its tolerance of differences of opinion and
behaviour - and what I see here disappoints me.
