Henry, Yes, the cost of the additional safety precautions afforded us should be considered, and I did just that before leaving my message about the tactile tiles! I know somebody is going to respond with some figures about such a thing costing multibucks, and I can accept the fact that any modification to the subway stations wouldn't be a drop in the bucket by our standards, but relatively speaking, compared to budget allocations made daily for other things that couldn't possibly do something as important as saving a life, I think it would be a pittance! So far as how we appear in public, I couldn't agree with you more! I don't know where I said otherwise, cause I think we're talking about 2 totally different things here, but I want to assure everyone that yes, I bathe regularly, I weigh under 300 pounds, and the ladies of the evening that hang out on Liberty Avenue here in our fine city still solicit me, so I must not be totally repulsive! Excuse me for being so defensive, but I just don't understand why my original message should have provoked you to think that I am not concerned with how I look in public, be I a blink or a wink! > rights to the airlines.

Ok Henry, just for that one, which I will steal as my own everytime I get a chance, I'll forgive you!
