Thanks to everybody for the very kind and, in the DT spirit, humorous, support. I won't engage in it, but the predictable rogues gallery of Internet malcontents are apparently crawling out from under their respective rocks over there. As I wrote earlier, it's a bizarre sideshow.
I get needled here sometimes for being eternally optimistic about racing and painting rosy pictures about it. But whatever I've tried to do in capacities as a media member or slightly public individual around racing, has been done to encourage interested parties participation in and enjoyment of the sport. It's temporarily disheartening that some feel such an eager and voracious need to attack and belittle, but in any walk of life, that won't deter anyone who has real passion for what they're doing.
