VR Google Group is History

I deleted the VR Google Group a few days ago. The reason is that a spammer joined up and posted an obscene message. I was able to ban the spammer from any further comments, but Google does not provide me with a mechanism for removing unwanted posts. I find that unacceptable. So the group is history.

I may resurrect the group in Yahoo format. I may also set up a forum at my Virtual Railroader site. I have some reservations about the latter because I set up a forum for our community band website (Greenfield Military Band) and have been getting up to ten unwanted applications every day. At least I can control this, but it's unnecessary work for me. If anyone has some suggestions, I'm listening.

Not really a comment related to this particular blog-post, but I was not sure where else to post it. I am an engineer with Metro North RR and have a friend who I just recently introduced to your community/website. His name is Zane he's 8yrs old, he is a rail and into VR as well. I have a photo of him that I thought I'd send you, but where would I send it?
