Phil D.:
... the singling involved leaving the other track in situ.


Tom Anderson:
Sounds like a rather Zen form of singling! What was the point?


John Rowland:
... Seriously, the point is reduced maintenance cost.


Mark Brader:
Specifically, in some cases the point is no points!


So 'singling' in this case amounted to 'instructing the maintenance staff
to ignore one of the tracks'? I have to admit, it is an *extremely*
cost-effective way of doing it.
