On the face of it, it seems like there should be an inverse relationship between the people paying the most taxes and the areas of Seattle most in need of public transit. People with money are more likely to drive a car and therefore less

wow, I had no idea... I just dug out my old Hardy Boys hardcover books from way at the back of the book shelf (behind the Saberhagen Swords books) and sure enough, mine were all from 1959. Here's the inscription from inside th cover of book

Why should I trust these guys with my data? It's bad enough that Google knows so much about me... but at least they have some checks and balances built in. What sort of safety does "greplin" have to offer adopters?

I'm a bit surprised that you published this to your bingo blog and not Kalzumeus.com. Aren't you worried about your stereotypical user clicking it by accident?
