[quote user="Datafever"][quote user="futuremodal"] ????When have I ever passed on a chance to keep meaningful discussions fully engaged...?[/quote]How about the threads "Saving the Railroad Industry TO Death - The Evil of Economic Freight Rate Regulation" and ""Open Access" and regulation of railroad freight rates" just to name a couple?At one point I specifically opened the door to give you the opportunity to convince me why your definition of captive shippers was more logical.  I have also asked general questions on those threads and on other threads (not to you specifically) that went unanswered. I could probably go back and compile a list of comments that I have made or questions that I have asked that were never responded to. [/quote]Perhaps it's a case of you not liking the answers I gave.As for the captive shipper definition, I thought a stated quite clearly that my definition - "Rail captivity is defined as a rail shipper having only one physical connection to a Class I" - is as far as I know the only objective way of determining captivity, whereas using arbitrary R/VC ratio's is subjective.That's it.  Beyond that definition we'd be getting into needless minutia.So go ahead and compile your list, and I'll answer them anew.  Keep in mind that for some of your questions someone else provided a better answer than I ever could, but I suppose I could have given you a "ditto" reply if that's what you wanted.
