Re: Avatar for The Grey One
Interesting reason for a name choice, Grey_One. I gotta say it was well-thought-out and seems to fit.
As to my collection of trains, I wouldn't call them cute (LOL). It's all steam-era with a bit of concentration in KPEV (Prussian Railway) and Deutsche Reichsbahn to try to piece together something believable circa 1940 (give or take). I could unbox and get some picks for an interested buyer. One or two of the locs I bought were limited editions, as I recall.

'Will the Kat accept Plato in the Bar and Grill?' This statement surprises me young man, it implies you seek his aproval for something that needs no aproval. Indeed, if the Kat were to try and excercise a "No Phillosophors Allowed" I'd be forced to unsheath my pen and write volums of Philosophy on the Bar's walls. (especially on the stalls in the washrooms) There would be a spectacular battle as philosophers from all around the world joined in the heated discussion of,.. oops, sorry, my Master's degree in Philosophy is peeking out again..
Man, you could go to town with a Plato avatar, you could tease the Kat to no end refering to him as 'simpleton', and disect his every post until it becomes meaningless. You could pick a phrase in any of his posts and reveal it's true meaning,..
To Paraphrase Plato,.. "You can subject every post to the full force of critical thinking, until nothing certain remains.
I can see it now,.. "The Brain Wars".. lol
Cheers!

Re: Avatar for The Grey One
Sounds like a plan! Of course, I will insist on being allowed to quote Plato, Socrates and other philosophers in their own tongue (Ancient Greek in this case), to make the whole thing even more interesting. It *is* war after all, so all weapons are game.
Oh, and I cast my ballot for the superposition thing; it's definitively fitting. And yet another reason to give a full 4 stars for Puke!

In a purely abstract representation of your idea, whipped (hehe) this up (file attached).
