Thanks for Efforts on Horner Lot

I wanted to thank the webmaster for his help in setting up the
DC line at Horner Road. Even though there are still some minor problems, it is apparently a success and has improved slugging at
the lot . It was no small effort to create the map and flyer, set up the online survey, manage the discussion boards, etc.

Thanks also to all of those who handed out flyers and posted
information. Horner was obviously a mess that badly needed help. If we didn't do something, I believe the PW Police would have. Once again, as with the change of the Rosslyn line, the website has shown its value to the slugging community.

To those who have criticized this move, in many cases very rudely, I will say that you are entitled to your opinion. However, rudeness hurts the website and slugging by discouraging people from posting opinions. There is no place for rudeness on the site.

Yes, thank you Bob and BSlug; I concur as well. I was quite offended and disturbed by the loudest opponent's Sept 4th posting. I personally do not want the "not-so-awake" drivers finding the way to my slug line for obvious safety reasons. I am also concerned that if drivers are really having trouble entering the lot from Telegraph Road,as the opponent suggests, then how will they negotiate the HOV lanes to DC? I do not believe drivers are having this problem except possibly the author of the 9/4 message. I have been going to the new lot for 14th Street rides since 9/17 and have had no problems. I have not needed to ride the bus once. As far as the negative comments go, they are counterproductive to what makes the slug lines work: a common goal to get to work safely, quickly, and with as little hassle as possible. If we wanted a negative environment, we would all still be in our previous carpools (yes, I am speaking primarily for myself here).
