away which you countered by saying it was on #14 using a container
shipping numbers.I lost track of whether you are saying I'm full of ****

Ahhh, try reading the posts. New Orleans is is _not_ an insignificant
port overall and _yes_ it is important to grain exports with some nine

This could be why I suggested rebuilding the grain terminals.

What fraction, do you suppose, of the now displaced or dead New
Orleans population was devoted to grain shipment?
