i have lobbed numerous bombs at bus depot in the past,
including yesterday.  perhaps my credibility on the list is
low enough that it does not matter.  nevertheless, i wanted
to clarify that my motives have nothing to do with Ron
personally.  i have done a fair amount of business with
him.  being an american capitalist pig, however, i believe
in the virtures of competition and busdepot is clearly the
dominant player (the "microsoft") among the list vendors.
we all benefit from his success, but without competition, i
have my doubts as to how much or for how long.  it's just
the nature of the beast.  besides, i have a certain affinity
for anyone who, like me, wears plaid pants!
