The MBTA forum recently had some comments about the interaction between industry people and railroad enthusiasts in internet discussions. Over the years I have found that some railfan groups ask industry people out to do a program and then are very rude to them. One result of this is that a lot of industry people want nothing at all to do with railfan organizations. Anybody else had similar experiences?

The two groups to which I belong treat railroaders with utmost respect.
