Thanks for your appreciation of the site. In the role of moderator, I have deliberately refused to partake of opinions in railway matters and participate in forum discussions, unless it relates to the functioning of this site as a whole. Most of my blog posts here have been rather bland and boring, and have to do with the general direction of the site, forum moderation, technical maintenance/features and so forth.
This is not because of a lack of opinion or a sense of humour about what's going on, but because expressing the same would interfere (in hidden ways) with the role of moderator. This does take some of the fun away, but it can't be helped. :(
What...
more... is important is to continue to maintain an interesting platform for vibrant discussion, that renders even typically boring subjects like budgets as exciting as a world cup cricket match, as was seen a couple of days back. :-)
