Well, it's funny.  I can't remember the last problem I had.

That's true.  I often find the clerks to be MOST unhelpful.

Wrong again Rex.  Have you ever been on a really buried and convoluted
subway?  Try London or Paris, where transfer stations often involve
walking 1/2 mile underground.  Metro Center is as easy as it gets.  Metro
is (on average) no deeper than any other system either.  Moscow is several
times deeper, and on average Paris and London seem to be about the same
level as DC.
