That's a bit harsh on young James!  I think it's valid to use aus.rail
to air one's rail-related grievances, no matter how trivial they might
seem to some people.  Seeking accuracy in publications is not
unreasonable.

Following your logic, you shouldn't be moaning about your political
leaders like Scully:  I mean, what about those poor peasants under
Stalin (to pick up on your Russian theme), now they really had
something to complain about.

I recall you complaining about Cityrail ticketing complexities on
aus.rail.  That's a hassle those Germans on Concorde would probably
like to deal with every day, in preference to their current situation.

Destination indicator boards!  Guards that don't make announcements!
Aus.rail would be a very empty forum without "trivial" complaints from
people like yourself.  Long may those complaints continue!

Cheers!

James
