A helpful word of advice to you: If you want to rant about someone's
alleged Usenet cluelessness, don't post it twice. It makes you look
amateurish.

Google Groups posted it twice - it happens to the best of us, see WWII
Bunker topic for an example from lonelytraveller ;-)

In any case, that was a pretty ****ty response, wasn't it?

That's one opinion - you're perfectly entitled to disagree with my
reasoning for posting as I did and I've got no argument with that. If
the BBC hadn't screwed up their weather forecast presentation I would
probably have been a bit more forgiving :-)

seems to be lacking in thought or does not make sense.

You do realise you are responding to a troll, I hope?

That's another opinion - one with which I am more inclined to agree.

Personally I would hope that lonelytraveller just thinks things through
a bit more - I'm not saying that all the poster's contributions are
nonsense, but looking a sample of recent ones my opinion hasn't changed
since yesterday's post.

Angel is to do with the chelsea-hackney line.

As Dave Cockle said 'It would have been a line *similar* to the planned

Hackney - Chelsea tube' (my emphasis). The GN&CR was built a century
ago, and the planned Hackney - Chelsea line in it's current form (with
a possible station at Angel) dates only from the Central London Rail
Study of the late 80's. There have been other proposals floated in the
past, which did not include a station at Angel.

Incidentally Argyle Street station on the Glasgow suburban network is
underground, with escalators going down from the ticket hall (which is
just off Argyle Street) to a concourse, then escalators *up* to the
platform. The reason for this is because the tunnel is immediately
below the centre of Argyle Street itself without space for a concourse
between street and platforms.

The real trolls are the ones who think they own this message board.

True. The escalators at Argyle Street station are also *very long*, like the
ones at Euston or Angel.

I was alluding to the fact that Google have acted in a somewhat
presumptuous way towards this newsgroup, and Usenet in general, in
introducing an interface to it that fails to respect our traditions and
history.

Ah, I understood you thought Google owned the group. Apologies for the
underestimation! :-)

no, just the ones who think they own this

you have confused "thinking X owns" with "X owns"
