Motto:
Derek Dwarsligger:

Some friend said about me (in dutch ..) : "zonder dwarsliggers, rijdt de trein niet..." a dutch expression that roughly translates as : "without sleepers the train will not go anywhere .." , there might be some truth in the fact that I'm a "sleeper" keeping the tracks parallel, keeping train on the tracks .. for it to reach to its final destination.

For those who suffer from eyesore when they encounter zpellingmiztakez in the Wiki, especially in what I have written/ added/ edited, I encourage you to make any necessary corrections ... do not restrain yourself, enjoy

Please accept my apologies, for I suffer form a mild type of dyslexia, mental blindness for typos, and thoughts that flash over fiberoptics through my mind, but my fingers are wired with standard copper twisted pair ...
