Two attempts have been made that accuse me of editing other's posts for my benefit. <br /> <br />For Murphy's "joke", I indeed edited the joke to turn it around on him. Because, IT'S A JOKE! If anyone is stupid enough to take Murphy's joke as a serious statement of fact, then the joke is on them. <br /> <br />As for Mark's statement regarding higher rail rates vs lower rail rates, well here we are on an Open Access thread, and one of the beneficial factors of open access espoused by me is that it will provide competitive rail rates to captive shippers, which means the rail rates for those captive shippers will go down, and Mr. Hemphill comes along and makes a point that implies that open access is bad because if rail rates fall captive shippers will shift production to a foreign country. If Mr. Hemphill was not refering to open access when he made that statement, what was he referring to? Come on, Ed, you claim to speak for Mark, tell me what he was really referring to when he brought up the subject of low rail rates?
