He didn't post from a Cityrail domain. His details don't indicate hes a
city rail worker. And there's not even a signature indicating any
connection to cityrail. For all i know, he might show up and sit on a
paltform all day long and pretend to be a cityrail worker. 

And by chance if there is a N. Cox working for cityrail, well now I feel
sorry for him taking another persons flak!

It's a public forum, and he said what he said as a public person, If
this is how Cityrail want to defend their image, i think they're wasting
their own resources.

I think he should continue to post from his *personal* and *private*
account in any manner he feels fit too. Of coursr its his own judgement
to decide what should and what shouldn't be posted!

My two cents worth
