I've written in the past about the so-called divide between younger and older enthusiasts, with many very reluctant to let the younger generation into what is an old boys network. However, when you read posts such as the below, it makes you wonder why anyone even wants to be part of such a bitter-at-times hobby... 

It is a shame that we don't start speaking to people and politely educating them... young and old. The majority will want to learn and expand their knowledge, and not be spoken to like something they've trodden in. All because they can't tell the difference between bus A and bus B!

Quite sad, especially as I quite frequently see people post photos of Enviro 400 bodies on a Scania chassis and quite often this mistake can be made, I've probably fallen foul of it myself and this is in part why I often end up having to research stuff like this, sadly even with research you can still sometimes fall foul of incorrect info, once got a snooty reply off someone on Flickr after I stated a previous owner of a bus but got the operator name slightly wrong. When I do spot a mistake someone has made, I will respectfully give them a correction to help give them the correct info.

I honestly don't know half the stuff that goes on with some enthusiast's, I had a rather uncomfortable journey back from Carlisle this afternoon owing to someone trying to wind me up and get a reaction out of me but I didn't give them a single second of my time.
