<p>[quote user="Phoebe Vet"]</p> <p>[quote user="oltmannd"]</p> <p>"Our long distance train network provides these benefits (list) that have monetized value of ($$). As you can see, that exceeds their cost to operate by ($$)."</p> <p>You'd think they'd say this every time. If it were true....</p> <p>Or, at least you'd think they would be working very hard to make it at least close to true.</p> <p>Must be they are playing a different game.</p> <p>[/quote] </p> <p><span style="color:#800000;">Let me see you, with a straight face, say you didn't just throw that out to see how big a fight you could start. </span>[/quote]</p> <p>Sounds like fun to me! </p> <p>Most of the participants in these forums appear to be older guys, I suspect, many of whom are retired, discussing trains. Doing so without taking into consideration the nation's larger transportation network would make for a sterile discussion. </p> <p>At the end of the day the people who make the decisions, i.e. executive management, government officials, etc. are not going to take our views on-board. That's OK. It is still fun. Moreover, if one is willing to keep an open mind, he or she may have a view changed or at least consider doing so.</p> <p>Some of the participants want to control what is said on these forums. That is not their role; it belongs to the moderators. I for one like a bit of ranging. It stimulates the discussions and the mind.</p>
