[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Energy consultant, huh… Is that sorta like claiming to be international sales representive, when what you’re really doing is selling Amway to a friend in Canada? If it works like that, then I am a switching service consultant and transportation advisor…after all, at least once a day the yardmaster consults with me…he asked me just the other day, “What the *ell did you just do?” and I advised him…I said “If it was to flashy for you to follow, then go get a cup of coffee and don’t watch, I will call you later and explain”. Seriously, what qualifies you to comment on how we do our job, and how a railroad should be run? Because it is obvious you never worked for a railroad, at least not in T&E service, although your arrogance and stubbornness, and you ability to make statements that fly in the face of facts and reality, coupled with your refusal to see anything other than what you want to sounds a lot like most of the trainmasters I have met. Did BN can you? Because it is obvious you have a grudge against them and most railroads in general, despite your statement to the contrary. About the only railroad you seem to like, the Milwaukee Road is gone, due in large part to horrible management decisions. You and your soul mate, Mike, seem to think the Milwaukee was the only railroad that ever did things right, but funny thing is, the Milwaukee is gone, while all these other dumb, evil, self serving railroads, like the BNSF and UP, survive, and some are even flourishing, despite not having you two on their board of directors. Let you in on something all the other posters, sans one, already know. BNSF is in the business of making money…nothing else. If that means hauling container after container of plastic dog crap made in Taiwan from LA to Chicago, and ignoring the five car load of wheat sitting on a siding out in the middle of no where, well, that’s just the way it works, no matter how much you come on this and other forums and whine about it. Your claim on having two patents is great…I have part ownership in a few myself, for a mandrel system and a lath tool/ end drive bearing system, but that in no way qualifies me to tell other tool manufactures how to run their business. I would suggest that if you feel your patents are so good, then show us what they are, after all, if the patent office accepted them, they should stand up to the scrutiny of us uneducated slobs here on the forum! The fact is, you’re not much more that a simple forum troll, granted, a little more educated, and a lot more verbose than most, but a troll none the less. You hide in anonymity, make, for the most part, subtly off kilter claims, insult those that don’t agree with you, and have yet to post a thread or participate in any topic, unless it is about open access or an anti- BNSF/ UP thread….most of which you seem to start yourself. You make incredible statements, back them up with misleading or incomplete evidence, and then you insult anyone who calls on you to back up your nonsense with clean, clear facts… You do present “evidence”, but so heavily edited and of such a cut and paste nature as to be worthless. If you do attend this meeting, and post any “notes” from it, I, and I suspect many others, would find almost all of what you present as useless and untrustworthy, because you will, after all, omit anything presented there that fails to support your stance and claims, and what you do return with and post will be so heavily edited, biased and slanted as to be worthless. After all, you have presented no bona fides to qualify yourself as anything other than a troll; you won’t even give us your real name. Don’t want your boss to know what you’re really thinking? Who are you afraid of? Ed [/quote] I have to admit, Ed, you do make me laugh more often than not. If we take all the accuations you've made towards me, and add them up, then I am a..... (clear throat) A self-employed Montana power company executive/lineman/cable guy/Montana farmer/elevator manager/former BN employee/forum troll/foamer/scab railroader/et al, et al. I do have a suggestion for you. If you are so concerned with forum members suspected anonymity, you should first find out the real names and real jobs of members such as ironken, LC, CSSHEGEWISCH, jeaton, Tom Diehl, et al, e.g. those folks who ALWAYS feel a need to **** on everyone else's posts, and then post them on this forum for the sake of your problem. Oh, and don't forget to include your real name and real job, with independent documentation, okay "Ed"? (insert fake coughing sound "scabrailroader") And then sit back and find out how little everyone on this forum cares about your "real" name and "real" situation. It's "third nipple" information. In the meantime, I will take your usual negative pus-laden dribble into account when I post the results of this meeting on this forum. Cheers!
