[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dmwnc1959: [qb] I do remember one exchange of words several years ago though that nearly drove me away from this Forum when one or more members arrogantly insinuated that those who road in Sleepers were better than those who road in coach. It infuriated me. Since then I rarely post here (less than 50x in the last two years) and come back to visit once in a blue moon. This recent spattering of posts I have made on Amtrak Security and the Lunar Eclipse are an exception. [/qb][/QUOTE]Mr. DMW, I readily acknowledge that I would stay at home rather than ride Amtrak (or Greyhound) LD Coach. I for one value my creature comforts more than I do trying to play Paul Theroux. However, if any posting to the topic thread you found offensive is mine, I would appreciate if you would use this site's extensive archive and its effective search tool to locate such so that I, as well as possibly others, could identify where we went astray and take corrective action, if necessary. Now what I believe you must accept is simply fact that 'straw polling' it, seems to establish that some 75% of the participants here who travel Amtrak LD do so in Sleepers. While that measurement is contrary to the "stats" Amtrak periodically releases as part of their Monthly Performance Reports where it is reported that some 85% of LD riders travel Coach, it is an apparent fact of life within the universe of the Forum that I would hope, you, Montana Jim, JONATHON, Amtraxmaniac, et al, who choose Coach will simply accept. I'm not better than you; I'm simply prepared to pay what I must to have the proper rest I need and the privacy I desire. That Amtrak will 'do more' for a Sleeper passenger in the event of a disruption, i.e. offer a misconnect Sleeper passenger a hotel or air transportation rather than a station bench or Greyhound, is simply a property of "you get what you pay for'. As the mature gentleman you have always been at this Forum, both past and present, I know you will accept 'that's life'. Having addressed this point, I am now prepared to move on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
