CRASH ! [Re: TAN>Do Hong Kong Cars Count?]

Well it was a downhill run from here folks! We just let the brakes
off B2001 and coasted in a brick wall! Suicide trip they say.

I will be following Peter's request and not replying to Greg's
remarks - but clearly none is needed.

I will however correct him on just one (of several) points. I live in
Brisbane - have done for 2½ years. I did work for Ansett NZ for a
while - until Qantas steered it into the drink, and then I "retired".

So sorry I can't assist with any tram pics of this fair city. Most of
the Kiwis up here I know are very fine folk - some are even
interested in trams! A real pity that so far the LRT plans have not
got off the ground despite at least 2 false starts. I would be most
interested if anyone who is closer to the action than I am knows if
there is any likelihood of Brisbane's LRT being resurrected? I know
Peter Hyde(?) at Fernygrove had to rebuild the museum there after the
grand plans for a "LRT Tech" went awry - does anyone know if the Govt
coughed up with compensation for that little debacle?

Mr London,

Inflamatory remarks were started on your side of the Tasman by

someone

making insensative comments about 16000 Ansett employees losing

their jobs

which really is'nt "On-Topic" It appears that the only people that

actually

contribute to this group are to be castigated and pilloried at

every turn.

As for not being slow to rise to an argument, guilty as charged

when it

comes to ignorance and arrogance, the latter you obviously are

familiar

with, to suggest I cannot welcome a fellow enthusiast to the group,

a

courtesy that is common amongst members of all other groups I have

been

involved with. And if you knew me, you would realize that I am the

last

person who would want a Melbourne clique as I believe I am an

international

tram enthusiast, it's people like yourself that want to lead narrow
tunnelled visioned lives that screw up good natured friendly

lists.And as

for "matey" correspondence, I guess that's what comes form trying

to be

friendly and helping people in the hobby and again, I make no

appologies for

being guilty as charged.

As usual, the people who were not there (in reference to WGB's

excellent

posts) are the first to become experts about what they never saw

and those

who do not work in the industry are the first to be dogmatic about

which

type of tram is the best etc. Jealousy is a terrible curse.

So as for you Mr London, you should read your own remarks and go

have a long

look in the mirror, take a tablet and have a good lay down, stay in

NZ it's

small enough for someone with your attitude. As for the list, well

you can

have your victory, time is too short and there are other lists with

more

welcoming and generous of spirit people, I will confine my posts to

those.

Mr King - if you would stop your inflammatory, irrelevant comments
and stick to what this group is all about, there would less need

for

you to be reminded of normal courtesies.
Your previous comments on this group indicate to me that you are

not

slow to leap into an argument - which creates discomfort for

others

in the group. Nor do we need your snide remarks, e.g. as below.
Also I do not think it is up to you to "Welcome aboard" anyone to
this group - This is not some little Melbourne clique for you to
carry on your "matey" private correspondence: post to individuals

for

that.
Just stick to the subject, avoid the personal remarks, cut the
arrogance and remember there are 67 other members please.

Yes John,

Welcome aboard, don't worry about some members here who's only

contributions

are to shoot other people down, "the woods are full of them"!

Greg

Hi, gang!

Unfortunately, Hong Kong really does not count

as "TramsDownUnder".

However, we have had off-topic posts on Calcutta previously.

So

John, or

anybody else, if you wish to post a picture or two, go ahead.

But you

must

include "TAN" or "OT" in the subject line to indicate that it

is a

non-TramsDownUnder topic.

Thanks,
