RE: RE: (erielack) EL calendar: March 2008

I have purchased only one EL calendar and is was so poor that I never again
bought it.  I read each month the comments about the month and it is very
seldom that there are kind words.

So my question is, why does the EL group back such a poor representation of
the three railroads?

OK -- point taken.  The pictures are often questionable; the captions are
worse -- so, why buy it?

I have ELHS calendars from years past.  Who produced them? Were they always
Weekend Chief?

Randy, let's understand something about working with Weakend Chief:

A number of people on and off this list have attempted to work with John
Scala.  It's basically not possible.  After months and months of urging John
to send stuff along so you can get into it, and do some research and/or find
some other folks who know something about it . . . . no such thing happens.

What DOES happen is that you get a total unannounced, no-warning Fed-Ex
envelope, with the WC return
label.  You eagerly rip it open so you can get right into it.  Then you read
the note that says "This is the proof of the next calendar.  Please look it
over, and send it back tomorrow with any changes because it's already in
China (or wherever) ready to go on press."

This has happened for several years with several of us.  That is why the
ELHS >sells< the calendar, but we take NO responsibility for the contents
thereof.  Zero control = zero responsibility.  So, yes, the calendar's
captions range from "well, not too bad" to laughably incomplete and/or
inaccurate.
