You know I kind of feel bad if he is of a Spanish decent and can not write or speek good English. What usually happens with foreign exchange students at my school when I ask them a question, they will usually respond, always yes to what you say or repeat your question as an answer because they have no clue what your talking about. This may have been the case when Anthony asked Ricardo, "are you a student, are you doing a project for school, etc..." Maybe we just have a foreign railfan who is interested in Amtrak. I hate to admit this, but I could be discriminating this man upon his race. Still, when talking to people on line it is hard to know the persons characteristis and day in day out lifestyle. Also, to calm fears, I really doubt that a terrorist would begin to communicate on-line, they are a lot more sneaky than that. It took me awhile to realize this, but it made sense to me after awhile, I don't know about the rest of you though.
