Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and thinks that everybody elses stinks.
The great thing about America is that you have that freedom to think what you want, to voice that opinion and have it heard (thanks to places such as these forums).
With that said, all i have to say is:
A simple Thank You would be fine. Appreicate what alot of these cats did back then cause with out it Style Wars or Subway art would not have been made. with out them doing that back then you would probably be into something else, presuming ofcourse your a writer that is.
so on behalf of all the old school train era writers (if i could be so bold)
YOUR WELCOME
