Jean, misspelling people's names is done intentionally by trolls. This

that they were not addressing you. The no-archive is also a way of
trying to cover their tracks.

I agree with your "it is what it is" but please do explain how there can
be anything different between the train ride you buy from HAL vs. the
same train ride you buy directly from the company that runs it?

Actually, it's $9 ($119 vs $110), unless you're seeing something I am not.
