[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Murphy Siding</i> <br /><br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by edblysard</i> <br /><br />Lets see if I got this right... <br />The thread title, which you typed, some how confirms the details in the posts you write? <br /> <br />How, because you wrote it, or just because you said it does? <br />The thread's title confirms nothing more that you know how to type. <br /> <br />Ed <br />[/quote] <br /> Ed.....um....just to point out to Dave that I'm not *piling on, like the other usual suspects*......I should probably point out, that someone else started the tread, and gave it the title. Dave simply made the thread his own, so he could continue having the same arguement that he seems to enjoy having.[;)] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Actually, the thread title is straight from the original news item posted by the thread starter. I added a complimentary news item a few pages later. <b>These news reports regarding the railroads' inability to keep up with contractual commitments are now fairly commonplace.</b> <br /> <br />And no, I haven't penned ANY of them! I have simply commented on them. If it seems I have made this thread "my own" as Murphy claims, it may be in truth that I'm the only one left who is actually discussing the topic in question rather than hurling the usual volley of insults. <br /> <br />Too bad the rest of you can't keep to the topic in question, prefering character assassination instead. It's almost as if this is how this forum was set up by Bergie - someone posts a topic unflatterring to railroads, others such as myself comment on these unflatterring characteristics of the railroads, and instantly the *rail professionals* and trolling wannabes start ad hominem attacks on the ones who add the observations, instead of offering their counterarguments. <br /> <br />If someone can simply tell us why the monopolistic characteristics of US railroads is NOT the reason that most succinctly explains their actions, well, post it here.
