Dear Smothisfast,

My purpose here is not to engage you in a tit-for-tat.  It is merely to clarify a small point to our readership.

I would like to point out that my comment about the bus line had nothing to do with affordability, and I think that should be clear to any reader when read in context.  Bus riding and affordability is more a reflection on your perspective on bus riders than mine.  I, for one, ride the bus and I know many multi-millionaires that do as well.  In NYC, where I first worked, the buses and subways are full of them.

It is a pity you do not know me better because if you did you would not have conferred your values to me.

Hope that helps

Peter
