Chip: If that's in regard to the bizzare thread that appeared on a public forum, I know it's not easy to do sometimes, but: Blow it off.
If that guy was being serious, he's a nut case, pure and simple. Serious personal issues.
As for me, though my real love is 1st generation stuff... I'm taking more and more of a liking to the the Rock Island of the late 60's early 70's... and I must say your 2nd generation EMD is looking sexier and sexier to me.

(The Rock Island had some neat GP35's and stuff.)
Your's and Nelle's work is to 2nd generation what Marc & company's is to 1st Generation: Simply the best. Period.
Take solace in that there are a multitude of satisfied customers that feel likewise. Though I'm not a customer yet, I fully intend to be once I get done with the current projects and begin my next one.
You payware guys take needless cheap shots... and those taking those shots can't see the end of their nose in regards to how important payware add-ons are to the future of this hobby.
You guys at 3Dtrains and Dekosoft are blazing the trail for this new hobby that's developing. Those leading the way are the ones that get the critiques from the "can't do's".
Keep your chin up.
