http://videos.komando.com/2009/03/27/a-miniature-wonderland/ > http://videos.komando.com/2009/03/27/a-miniature-wonderland/ WOW!! INCREDIBLE!! So much to see and so few superlatives... Normally the NYC next to the Alps next to the Grand Canyon type layout leaves me cold, but this is Spectacular Execution. From the road traffic to the camera flashes in the stadium, from the ski lift to the hot air balloons and rail traffic everywhere! Thanks for sharing!! > http://videos.komando.com/2009/03/27/a-miniature-wonderland/ They have a YouTube Channel!! http://www.youtube.com/user/MiWuLaTV Wow!! L@@K!!!!

Well now, at least we now know how reliable your opinions are. Perhaps a quick check would help with your facts............... > >>> Wow!! L@@K!!!! RARE? . . . unfortunately not > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Well now, at least we now know how reliable your opinions are. Perhaps a > quick check would help with your facts............... Fact: Miniature Vunderland is a for-profit tourist attraction in Hamburg Germany. (See attached price schedule.) http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/visit/prices/entrance-fees/ Fact: As do many other businesses, Vunderland advertises regularly in a number of places in order to attract more business, and just like other seedy tourist attractions (Disneyland, Europe, etcetera) they no doubt employ a PR department to see that their name is kept in the forefront of potential customer's thought-processes just as much as possible. (See the big spread in Model Railroader a while back.) Fact: References to Miniature Vunderland's website have appeared here at RMR on a regular basis ever since I began watching the group several years ago. This makes it seem as if the person or persons who keep doing this are in fact spamming the Newsgroup hoping to stir up a little more future business for Miniature Vunderland. So if Steve suspects that your post is just more of the same, and that you are in fact a flack for the nice folks at Miniature Vunderland, it's easy enough to understand why. Them's the facts. ~Pete On May 24, 11:16 am, Norvin <bluego...@prodigy.spam.net> wrote: > >>> Wow!! L@@K!!!!

You've done a lot of complaining so far about a model railroad that happens to charge an admission. How do you feel about the San Diego Model Railroad Museum? There have been lots of posts here about them but they also charge a cover. Why not slam them, too? You make no sense sometimes, Pete. Reminds me of a couple of friends in Oceanside who were members of a motorcycle club. The members complained at meetings month after month that there wasn't a custom shop in Oceanside. Poor members had to either go to San Diego or Los Angeles for their custom stuff. Lo and behold, that member and his wife invested a few hundred thousand in a shop and opened the first custom cycle shop in town. What did they get for their reward? Complaints from club members who suddenly started claiming they were only members of the club to increase their profits. How moronic is that? Well, pretty close to your complaints. It's a model railroad,for heaven's sake. Just let them post here now and again without your vitriolic replies and slams.

The only thing different about you is that you're considered fresh meat. Don't fret the loudest here. They've got nothing else but false bravado, mate. Trust me on that one. They're all wind and just as smelly. -- Ray > Damm, I didn't know I was going to create such a problem by showing a > site that had some model railroad stuff that a friend had sent to me. At > least there was one person who enjoyed it also. Not to worry: all you have to do to set Ser Haddad off on a rant is breath in an everyday manner. Inhale, exhale, makes no never-mind. And if you *stopped* breathing he'd promptly post to tell everyone why he'd known it was going to happen all along, and why you deserved it. Just about any unmoderated Newsgroup you can think of has a few like him, and it's probably best if you think of them as random sand-traps in the fairway of life. However, so far as I know, nobody is specifically mad at *you*. It's just that when something that's been posted over and over again to a Newsgroup shows up once again, and has at least the *appearance* of being spam, you're likely to get some negative reactions from posters who've grown tired of being propositioned by those consistantly off-topic Russian/Filipino brides... ~Pete >> Damm, I didn't know I was going to create such a problem by showing a >> site that had some model railroad stuff that a friend had sent to me.

So to clear things up, you went off again for no reason. Just as I suspected. Grow up.

Ray, you're a well-known Usenet nutcase, and the only logical thing to do with that sort of oddity is treat them as my dog would: I.E. if you can't eat it or screw it, just gently piss on it and walk away. > Norvin, this is as close as you will ever get to an apology from this > noobie on USENET.

You still haven't apologized. You never will. You picked on the OP for nothing at all except a pet peeve of which he wasn't even guilty. No surprise there, Pete.

There's no complaints about it when a third party posts information though. The original poster was a third party. Grow up. >Anyone but a lame card-trick "magician" would get that.

Anyone but a lame card-trick "magician" would get that. WHAT SPAM?? One poster pointed out a YouTube video. I watched it, enjoyed it and noted that they have a YouTube Channel - meaning a Lot More videos. *I* don't work for them and I doubt the OP does either.

It's been that way for more than the 15 years I've been hanging around here. A few like to crab and grouse so loudly that they feel as if they own the place. Look at the whining over some advertising for tools. Modelers don't need tools. Right? They just gnaw at their models to make them work right. Basically, the louder they scream, the less they have to contribute. Just watch for yourself and see. The next two idiots to scream at me hardly contribute anything except to scream at someone else now and again. I'll bet you 5 cents their trains are smashed against the basement walls if an ant manages to cross the tracks. -- Ray > Basically, the louder they scream, the less they have to contribute. > Just watch for yourself and see. Yes, please do!

No, Ray, you're just playing a.shole net-nanny again. As is your regular wont. > You've done a lot of complaining > so far about a model railroad that happens to charge an admission. Ray, as Lewis Carrol noted, words have actual meanings; and "complain" doesn't mean "pointing out facts", no matter how much you'd prefer it to be otherwise. In fact, I made no value judgents on Miniature Wonderland *at all* other than a joking reference to "seedy tourist attractions" -and I included both Disneyland and Europe as other examples of "seedy", which should have clued even the *dimmest* bulb into the fact that it was a humorous over- exaggeration. > How do you feel about the San Diego Model Railroad Museum? There have > been lots of posts here about them but they also charge a cover. Why > not slam them, too? I didn't "slam" anyone except you (see above), and that quite deservedly, nor did I say there was anything wrong with a model railroad museum charging for admission. > You make no sense sometimes, Pete. That's because you only see what you *want* to see and fail to read the actual words that appear in front of you on your screen. (And in case you were wondering, the proper word for that id "delusional".) > Reminds me of a couple of friends in Oceanside who were members of a > motorcycle club.

Well, pretty close to your complaints. Ray, it pains me to say it, but you're an idiot. There were no "complaints", and your entire post is based on your own straw-man reasoning: something at which you regularly excel. > It's a model railroad,for heaven's sake. Just let them post here now > and again without your vitriolic replies and slams. Grow up. Yeah, maybe some day I can become a real grown-up like you: someone who buys a lifetime supply of teapots just so you'll never run shy when you want to throw a tempest......er, tantrum. >> >> >Them's the facts. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >No, Ray, you're just playing a.shole net-nanny again.
