I understood what you were *trying* to say.

The LION thinks that it was obvious.
But this is a board of railfans, which *means* a board of nit-pickers.
Regardless of what you were saying it was a nest full of nits ready for picking.

These terms have very precice technical meanings.

So you *might* just have said "Gee, I think computer operated trains would be faster." NOBODY could have argued or even picked nits with that statement. And you would have been 100% correct.

But CBTC, ATO, OPTO etc &ct all have precice meanings, and your usage did not match the precision required thereof.

So Take a Lesson from your LION.

Use your words accurately and you will go far. Speak like a schlamiel and you will get your butt kicked.
