I didn't care too much for their map, so I made my own:

Excellent!! They could do a lot worse than pay you a royalty and
adopt your solution.

Why?

Jonathan's managed to strip all geographical cues out of this, and a
Beck-style diagram for a one-line system is pointless.

I suspect that he, and you, don't understand why Beck designed his diagram
the way he did; but please don't give the guy a plaudit for badly
ripping-off someone else's work.

Lighten up, james. I did it for fun and to make the map look more like the
Tube's (obviously). It has nothing to do with "understanding why Beck
designed his diagram" or anything else you said.

It was fun, and you're the only person who complained. Don't ruin it
please.
