While we try to keep postings of comments timely on Getting There, there was a little slippage over the past two days. Today was a particular challenge as the pace of reporting got in the way of posting comments. We'll try not to let that happen again.

Just a reminder: This is a moderated site. We try not to stifle freedom of expression -- even when it gets a bit personal. We do draw the line at hard-core profanity. (Think George Carlin's seven words.) Name calling of one commenter by another is also not allowed. (I hate to edit remarks but did so in the case of one who wrote a long posting that was within bounds but ended it with the words "you creep." Those hit the floor.

Some postings are omitted because of a lack of relevance to  the subject matter of transportation. If it looks like an advertisement for a  product or service, it won't be used. Copies of letters  to officialdom will be judged on a case-by-case basis. If it's too specific  and doesn't make a point of general interest, it may not make the cut. It's generally better to write to the author or to the blog itself. Posters can send copies of documents to michael.dresser@baltsun.com.
