[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Patrick-- I'm prepared to accept that you originated this topic "in good faith" and simply wanted to address why, considering that the usual five "revenue" car LD train has some 240 Coach seats yet only 80 berths, most of the "trip report" discussion here relates to Sleeper travel. You further related that while your present income level precludes Sleeper travel and limits your Food & Beverage purchases to what is sold at the Cafe', you also question, regardless of income level, how a relatively more comfortable night of sleep could be worth the steep surcharges Amtrak commands for Sleeper space. These are perfectly relevant points, but somehow the presentation of such got "garbled'. As a result, Mr. Chatter, the first to respond and who has been around these various railforums for as long as have I, interpreted your material as some kind of a Socialist "rant" against "the Bourgeois'. You later posted that you were being sarcastic, but this is written communication whereby an author cannot measure by facial reaction how his readers are reacting to a particular comment. My rule of thumb from now nine years of participation at these forums (as well as 67 years of life) is simply to avoid sarcasm, lest it 'come out wrong'. Just my thoughts, and so far as I'm concerned, "let's move on". GBN [/QB][/QUOTE]
