Ed,You can either apologize now, or risk being forever removed from this forum.  It's up to you. [quote user="edblysard"]  Dave,Only an absolute coward denies his own words...clearly you are the author mentioned, the style, wording and sarcasm are uniquely yours, and you carried it through in your posted response including the very newspaper quote you deny.Sad when you are too afraid to claim your published works.Bluntly, if I were to ever write to the editor of any newspaper, I would use my own name.Mainly because I am not afraid of saying what I mean, nor afraid of being shown I am wrong.It is called learning, which I dare say you gave up a long time ago. Regardless, I have no need to pretend to be you, and then portray you as an insecure idiot...you are perfectly capable of doing that all on your own. Mr. Tim, you are correct, the thread was never on topic, the only reason it exists is provide Dave a table to feed his insecurities from.Go back and read every one of his threads, they are all the same basic garbage over and over, you could cut and paste almost every response Dave gives, and swap them out willy nilly in any of his threads and still end up with the same rhetoric. I suggest this one be allowed to die out, as nothing can be gained other than providing Dave another soapbox.[quote user="futuremodal"][quote user="JSGreen"][quote user="TheAntiGates"] It looks like there is<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/12/07/news/wyoming/25-railroad.txt#138402"> more</a>  to the original story than he was admitting to [/quote] [quote user="FM post in BIllings Newspaper"]Futuremodal wrote on December 08, 2006 11:23 AM These guys are off their rocker, the only clear solution to the PRB coalfield dilemma is open access and tons of taxpayer subsidies. If the huge rail duopolies cannot meet demand, why not bankroll DM&E and let them git-r-done?  [/quote] I am going out on a limb here, and assuming that the FM in the Billings Gazzette is the one and the same who lends so much to the proceedings here....[:-^]but my point is, WHY should taxpayers SUBSIDIZE the company?  All that does is spreads the cost of the operation to a larger body.  Why not let the folks who are going to benefit from the coal pay for it all?  You have yet to show any overiding social benefit to such a subsidy.   [/quote]First of all, that ain't me.  I have never in my life used the phrase "git-r-done".  Secondly, I don't use my TRAINS forum user name anywhere other than on this forum.  Yet another case of a cowardly ilk stealing my TRAINS identity for some disingenuous purpose.  My guess is that it's Ed B, since he's tried a similar tactic on this forum in the past.But to counter your point, why should the taxpayers SUBSIDIZE the NS double stack clearance project?  Why did the taxpayers have to SUBSIDIZE the Alameda Corridor?  Why are the taxpayers having to subsidize the Reno Trench?  Etc., etc., etc.[/quote][/quote]
