Here's your locigal comparison as it pertains to Milk. Before I paid $4.00 for a gallon of milk. Now I pay $5.50 for that same gallon of milk because I have to expect that prices are increasing everywhere. Except now, the gallon of milk I buy is only 3 days from going sour instead of 10 days. I should accept this?

Where do I say that the information provided in the DRF is a complete waste? How the hell can one handicap without PP's? Is my point that difficult to comprehend? Do I write in code? Why shouldn't we expect the premiere racing periodical in our country to be top notch? If you feel that the DRF is top notch, and the errors and flaws I speak of don't exsist, then say so. But, I'm pretty sure that they do exist, because I don't just pull this crap out of my ass. I don't feel that the DRF's price increases over the past 2-3 years (somewhere between 35% and 40%) are justified based on the dimminishing quality over that same period.

Sorry, but it's not an applicable comparison. You might feel it is, and that's OK. Perhaps your problem will be solved if you don't buy milk or the DRF. If you do both, I certainly wouldn't drink milk while reading the DRF. Good luck.

Sure...you used to buy bacon for $4 a pound...good, meaty bacon, that held it's form when you cooked it...now they are giving you a lot more bacon, say a pound and a half, but are charging you $5.50 and when you cook it, it shrivels up like a shrinky dink.

Get it now?

That's because it comes pre-shriveled...

And that folks, has been my point from the beginning...
