It got moved. @Eke can clarify I’m guessing
Yes, a member moved it to the Seeking Help category. I will send you details.

Not to totally derail the thread, but you know someone else holds that esteemed place in my heart!!
Trains have their roots in wagonways, which used railway tracks and were powered by horses or pulled by cables. Following the invention of the steam locomotive in the United Kingdom in the early 1800s, trains rapidly spread around the world, allowing freight and passengers to move over land faster and cheaper than ever possible before. Rapid transit and trams were first built in the late 1800s to transport large numbers of people in and around cities. In the mid–20th century, diesel and electric locomotives replaced steam as the means of motive power. Following the development of more flexible cars and faster airplanes, trains declined in importance and market share, and many train lines were abandoned. The spread of buses led to the closure of many rapid transit and tram systems during this time as well. Since the 1970s, governments, environmentalists, and train advocates have promoted increased use of trains due to their greater fuel efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to other modes of land transport. High-speed rail, first built in the 1960s, has proven competitive with cars and planes over short to medium distances. Commuter rail has grown in importance since the 1970s as an alternative to congested highways and a means to promote development, as has light rail in the 21st century. Freight trains remain important for the transport of bulk commodities such as coal and grain, as well as being a means of reducing road traffic congestion by freight trucks.
While conventional trains operate on relatively flat tracks with two rails, a number of specialized trains exist which are significantly different in their mode of operation. Monorails operate on a single rail, while funiculars and rack railways are uniquely designed to traverse steep slopes. Experimental trains such as maglevs, which use magnetic levitation to float above a guideway, are under development in the 2020s and offer higher speeds than even the fastest conventional trains. Development of trains which use alternative fuels such as natural gas and hydrogen is another 21st century development.
I knew you just did it cuz you wanted to interact. Happy holidays Aybee!!!
You are incorrigible and I love you for it!
He he he… even the best of us get put in time out at least once
What have you all got against trains?
Sassy was correct to move it, but left where it was for just a little longer - for dramatic effect and educational purposes - would’ve been nice.
Heck no I LOVED what you wrote! I was trying to console you while you were in time out
I almost left it from lethargy and laziness. But I knew you were just waiting to see if someone was reading the thread. I couldn’t let you down.
Not quite.
Was a post as useless as the coding one… I just happened to use trains to make my point.
You’re quick though!
Can’t get away with much round here… Not that i actively seek to try and get away with anything. I do very much respect the rules.
Yeah, I missed the previous post altogether…for 5 days! Eek. Losing my touch…
No related but just wanted to let @AyBee know that you and Derek may apply to join the more veteran and reverent Ignorant Cunt Society. I’m the Chair Member. Direct applications at

Please bring snacks cos I ate them all while perusing that thread full of gold.
This is brilliant. You are amazing.
I’m in!
