The building of the American railroad is amazing. Would love to hear his stories

Well at least one of us has manners then :)

I believe what you are referring to is you asking me to share this story.

And so I start to share it and you come over and tell me how I’m avoiding it? Nonsensical

Thank you. I find my self surrounded on all sides by mockers and jesters. And should I give them a piece of my mind…the creator of the forum will remove me.

Actually he's the troll, and that's clear for all to see.
I've been here long enough to recognise them when they show up. This one was pretty obvious from the start because he isn't very good at it.

Perhaps you should write down your substantive thoughts about a topic before starting a thread about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now the thread has already been derailed before you've said anything about working on the railroad.

I had figured that the thread could just be dormant for an hour till I had a chance.

I started it because I was being urged to “put up or shut up” and etc.

So I started this thread assuming that it would just be left alone till I had a chance to type something nice.

Speaking of railroads. This book was a childhood favorite of mine.

So much so that I wanted a sledge hammer.

Right up until I was given the opportunity to actually use a sledge hammer to help tear out a concrete patio in the backyard of my childhood home. Then I never wanted to use a sledge hammer again.

You have to hand it to him, he's quite good at getting people to respond.

Honestly, if the posting of this thread counts as trolling, then its good-natured trolling and isn't harming anybody...

You do know that there is a "Save Draft" button right? (That's why some here think you were trolling)

Go on, what were you planning to post in the OP... come on, don't be shy...

I think he's an older guy with nothing better to do and there is no harm in keeping him entertained.
