James, if you're going to go into "rivet counting mode" (1), make sure you
spell everything right in your nitpicks! :-) Schenectady is closer to
correct but may or may not be 100% there either.

I believe MLW was a subsidiary at some point or another, but they went
independent somewhere. Who owns them now is not as interesting to me.
Especially since Bombardier is French Canadian, and the Quebecois combine
the worst characteristics of the French AND the Canadians. LOL.
It's comforting to know that I can quickly bang out a nice answer on 4 hours
sleep but count on you to correct the minor errors. We make a great team. :-)
