That's what I think, but according to Olog it can be either. For me a proper name doesn't get "the" in front of it. It's MTA not the MTA just like it's IBM not the IBM. It's ESPN, not the ESPN. It's FIFA not the FIFA. |

Even if it is gramatically correct, no one calls it that. Calling it "the WMATA" just reduces Forest Glen's practically nonexistent credibility on all matters WMATA even further. |

Is it your time of the month? Seriously? All you do is criticize people. I've given you the benefit of the doubt and I've tried to befriend you but nothing I do is ever good enough. Look at the plethora of WMATA photos I have at nycsubway.org |

You can still be friends, but disagree about something. Just becase some people don't share the same enthusiasm for certain things [WMATA] as you doesn't mean they are your enemies. |

The number of photos you have on nycsubway.org is meaningless to me. The person who posts here who probably has the most knowledge of WMATA's history and technical aspects has zero photos on that site. |

I don't have any the WMATA pictures on there either.Did you know that the last A in the WMATA stands for authority, not agency? You can use that trivia on your site if you want. |

Good move - that happened in a train I was on back about ten years ago - 175th Street on the "A" - "doors opening on the right side". Needless to say, that train (R44) was bad-ordered immediately.-w- |

Even if it is gramatically correct, no one calls it that. Calling it "the WMATA" just reduces Forest Glen's practically nonexistent credibility on all matters WMATA even further.Using "the WMATA" is less annoying to me (primarily because Forest Glen is the only one that does so) then the use of an in front of historic. The practice of using an in this grammatical context is something that is resent. 20 years ago one would have never read or heard it used in that context.

Did you know that the last A in the WMATA stands for authority, not agency?Here another one for you, the A in the MTA Maryland stands for Administration not authority or agency. The only letter that is common is the T for Transit. MTA Maryland is redundant phrase as the M in MTA stands for Maryland. The other MTA in Maryland, (Maryland Transportation Authority) is the agency that maintains and operates the toll facilities in the state. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |

Your praise and admiration for WMATA is in my opinion based on your inability and or lack of desire to see the big picture. You make yourself look like fool with your juvenile, boiler plate, everything is wonderful at WMATA posts. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |

I think you are missing our point. It is one thing to like a transit system. It is another thing to be unable to see faults in that transit system or to be critical of it when appropriate, and to be unable to separate railfanning desires from practical ones. |

This isn't about being a WMATA fan. It is about your use of one word posts when you take issue with something someone else says, your inability to see fault in things you like, and your inability to understand that railfanning observations made on sporatic day trips do not necessarily qualify as being statistically relevant. |

And I'm just stating the obvious here.
