You know what, I see you are like Oracle, who loves to post these personal things that clutter boards.

Go ahead, if you guys are in such need of attention that you can't PM each other, maybe it is what makes you happy.

Honestly, I have never seen it on other boards. It is almost like a cry for attention. You guys should get together with my housemate.

Rev, come on man, we have talked via PM and via the board, I FEEL your frustration....I couldn't agree more that conversations involving a person should be PMed, like the post that Oracle posted. But in 7 years, I have never seen him post something like that, he is 99% about horses, 1% about Seattleallstar.

I never would have established relationships with people like randall or hooves if I didn't respond to them on a thread and then start talking. (YES, Pletcher just got up in the 3rd at Meadowlands)

Scavs is right. The posts are no big deal. I am sure it annoys nobody but me and I only post here if they leave it on the computer. No need to change because of one person that rarely posts.

I prefer a different style, and there are plenty of other boards. No need to change due to one person's preference.

Hey Rev: you can join the party, but egos need to be checked at the door! If you come with an attitude, then you shouldn't be surprised when you're answered with one

Easy. My reputation here is clearly tainted due to my housemate, who won't be back until January.

You guys are nice people, there is no need to rain on your parade. My friends brother leaves tomorrow and my friend is gone for the semester. I am sure my interest in horse racing will die until the triple crown season.

See you in the spring.

It's funny this came up at all because I really was thinking of asking about trying to limit the "Personal Message as Threadstrarter"...

Would like everyone's input.. They do OCCASIONALLY get a quality thread going, but for the most part seem to be limited exchanges...

Perhaps the answer is a "threadstarter" with an actual topic first and a paranthesied directive after?

i.e. "BEL P6 today! (Hooves? Orca?)"

Feel free to provide feedback... This folds into an exchange Bolb Bklyn and I had this week.. Happy to see if the Trailers want to take an active role in helping maintain the guidelines around the Forum...

Speaking of our exchange ... which may also be described as a bloody knife fight ... and in light of your Groucho icon ...

... "A Day At The Races" ... featuring the fictional horse High Hat ... was on Turner Classic Movies last night!

How's that for an extreme and stunning coinkydink?

That seems like an excellent approach to me.

Its all about opinions. Like this topic is still listed on the main forum. Some feel it should be here, some feel it should be in another location.

In the case dealing with the Dr. Chainsaw thread, I do not agree with Steve on locking it up and sending it on its way. I know Chainsaw is a friend of Steve's, but when I see an email from the good Doctor, I might just reply with: 'hey Steve created Derbytrail.com and some forum members wonder when you are going to show up with your wit and knowledge?'

Some people might just offer some insight to answer questions asked if they were directed toward someone else. This might help in the long run. If you do want just a response of who you are directing to, then just PM it.

But IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED THE THREAD, JUST SKIP IT!!!! IT IS SO EASY TO DO. I haven't been on here since Wed. Night. So I get on here to catch up and skip the threads that I'm not interested to catch up anyways. I like how this forum has a mark forum thread section. AS a suggestion I would like to have that option for the individual categorize threads.

As far as setting a precedence like "i.e. "BEL P6 today! (Hooves? Orca?)," people are not always going to follow it. Like me as a second job a write for a website short excerpts of information. But as quick as I go through things, I might leave something out, and my grammar might be off. My info. might be printed as is, or edited, or sent back to me to please explain further.

Really its not a big deal. But in the my own opinion, the only threads that should be locked and deleted are the ones with verbal sparring attacks between posters, and ones that considered libelous enough warranted to any suit.

Eh.. I disagree with this. The moderators' job isn't just to eliminate offensive material, but also to cut down on clutter. I'm gonna stay mum on the rest of this subject, but I just wanted to say that.
