Max,

He doesn't really know or give a damn about how to do this project right, never has and never will. He's a train bashing troll who just uses this site to promulgate his bizarre delusions about how this is all part of the vast political conspiracy by omnipotent evil rail cabals. He has been using this site to troll his special brand of conspiratorial nonsense for years.

He uses this site simply to bash the vast SMART/NWP/BART/MTC conspiracy, or any of the other evil train projects out there that may catch his eye with mostly disinformation and gainsay nonsense, in order to carry out his delusional mission in life to expose the vast evil rail conspiracy behind all of it. He has shown repeatedly by his posts that he has no real background, knowledge, or actual experience in any aspect of railroads or transit, and certainly no understanding of this industry, profession, or hobby.

So while your response points out something we have observed to be true about rail service and systems, and is well reasoned, and based on vast experience, it will have no effect on this troll, since he really does not care in the least.
