	If only I could.

	Unfortunately I have to get here via a guantlet
	which while it does include a *few* compentent
	rail workers is increasingly made up of stupid,
	inept and authoritarian racists who are not interested
	in communicating with passengers unless it's to
	play mindless little power games, especially if
	those passengers are from a group which can 
	easily be pushed around, like minorities or
	young people.

	I started checking out this NG because I thought,
	by it's nature, it might include those in the industry
	who could communicate and had a vision for their
	future beyond the pub on payday.

	Instead I find a bunch of passenger hating racists
	who just want to engage in mutual masturbation about
	how superior to passengers, 'lebs' and kids they
	are.

	But this has been an education to me.

	I thought the rail system was run so badly
	because the *management* are jerks ...
