Highly commendable.       We have lost a member or two on this list 
because of all the comments denigrating the USA and many others have cut 
way back on participating if not cut it out altogether.       Don't say 
it is constructive criticism  --  no way for it to take effect on this 
list.       Of the 60 or more lists to which I belong this is the  ONLY  
one where we have self-appointed experts on ALL the politics of the 
world and where uncontrolled rambling is the Rule rather than the Exception.


At least WP used Words in addition to colors.       This business of 
calling a route by Color Only is totally absurd  --  green line and blue 
line  --  is everything along the line painted blue or green?       Not 
even the equipment is painted that color  --  one could get on an orange 
PCC in Boston and be on the green line.       What sense does this 
make?       In addition to knowing where one wants to go that person 
also has to associate it with a color.
