BobR,

From all of those past bizarre rants, didn't you know that all of this is to blame on a vast conspiracy of evil BART/SMART/NWP, probably aided by those shifty "fereners", conniving with that evil gubmint, while using those damned zombies, and adding fluoride to the water, so that the jack booted thugs can force us all to ride those evil trains? Well maybe not the Zombies, but.....?

You didn't really expect a rational or coherent criticism of the legitimate grievances or concerns about things which affect RR's or the HSR, or anything resembling constructive comments about this great Swiss rail project.....? Evil Thomas and his vast conspiracy must be stopped!

Of course it's no wonder that you're confused, though. As a someone rationale and accomplished, you've worked hard, trained hard to do difficult things, and have learned to use good sense, and a wealth of experience you've accumulated, to separate fact from fiction, in order to analyze this complex world, and you've worked to find answers and solutions, even to these vexing and difficult RR problems......

And, I have it on very good authority that you actually do like trains....
