And the comments I have made to Dan have affected you how?

Dan is recently graduated from U of MN, and has been employed at a harness track in MN as well. He is very eager to learn and reflect opinions with the many individuals here. Dan is trying to enhance his vocabulary and racing skills to garner a position as race caller and analyst for this Spring at Running Aces. Dan is just 22 where im 39 and my experiences in the game have been far greater, but this site would give him precious experience and a consistent environment to interact w/ people with the same interest. I have explained to Dan how to go about some things better, as have a few members that have sent him PM's. I'm not intentionally trying to stir things up with you, but rather intervene and explain things. You have to be thick skinned to throw things out there I know! And being opinionated or strong in your convictions can be humbling at times. Dan will grow and learn and become a valuable contributing member of this forum this much I promise you. Thanks- Greg

So you really didn't like all my ramblings about English Channel?
