Yes I agree with Paul.
Being a member of this list I have great respect for many individuals
who 
have broadened my own understanding of issues relating to transport and 
often going beyond it.
It would be a pity if instead of a vigorous debate, which can be a
learning 
experience for many of us, this becomes a platform for angry exchanges.
Take a deep breath....count up to hundred... and if these don't work 
...sleep on it. As a person known for blowing his top at the slightest 
provocation, I can promise it works!!!
