I guess I don't see what is wrong with this kind of topic? For the most part, all of us are or are close to being, adults, so I do not see why some may feel that this should not be discussed at all.
I for one think that its good to talk about this kind of subject. There might be another person who this has happened to, so maybe they now think, whew...I'm glad that I'm not the only one who this has happened to. Or like the O.P....he got great news!
I guess my major concern with this way of thinking is, why are we asking if this is an ok subject matter for the forum.....? It if all boils down to what paint scheme the next locomotive may or may not have, or did CN take over yada yada, but we can't talk about other aspects of the railroad, then what is the use of having a forum?
