Hey moderators

How about letting us know who "Georgetown Merchant" is? You seem to have no problem unmasking anon. posters who post in support of the Loop, so turn about is only fair play.
If this person has solid facts to back up their drivel, then they should not be afraid to include them, along with a real name and email address in their post. This just seems to be a continuation of the baseless crap that you asked folks not to continue with.
Anyway, based upon my one day a week working at the Loop, from what I observe things are going well. The four car train is sold out most every trip (at least on Wednesdays)and from the numbers I have actually seen from the ticket contractor, ridership averages around 500 people per day. Trains run on time and the passengers seem happy. (despite "georgetown Merchant's" supoosed observations, I have yet to encounter an unhappy passenger.)
Anyway, if someone has actual facts and the balls to use a real name, then post away. Otherwise, I would ask the moderators of this board to stop enableing the subversive folks who are bent on destroying the Loop for their own personal reasons. (Their seemed to be no problem with "outing" WP&Y Mike when he posted as "John Gault, so I can't imagine it would be too hard to let us know who "Georgetown Merchant" is)
