... I've always commended you on your exceptional reading ability ... but ... maybe six weeks of continuous racing has dulled it a bit. Go back and re-read my post ... I said straight-out that the experiment was a "significant success" ... without their resorting to gimmicks like free T-shirts. Where do you see "bashing" in that? Praising and bashing are opposites. Besides which ... I'm the one who created this thread ... then bumped it up when it didn't get sufficient attention. All the news on this forum about the experiment being a success is a direct result of my efforts. Look ashamed ... look very ashamed. Last edited by Bold Brooklynite : 09-03-2006 at 07:30 PM.

hold on now...i've gone back and re-read the thread...someone somewhere called it a gimmick, because i put in a reply that i didn't think it was one...but funny thing is, that original post isn't up there anymore.
something rotten around here.

BB, It was the very title of the thread which had negative tones. You can't really be serious can you? You title a thread like that and then say with a straight face that you had nothing negative in mind? Now please, I didn't grow up in a house with a lot of lead paint.

... good to see a response ... I was getting worried about you. As far as the thread title ... it's called metaphor. I used "twilight" in both its literal sense ... the name of the experiment ... and its figurative sense ... a symbol of impending decline. If it failed ... it may not have been "Twilight For Saratoga" ... but it surely would have been "twilight" for the experiment. But it didn't ... and I alliteratively deemed it a "significant success." So ... you see ...it wasn't negativity ... it was creativity. Gee ... us poets ain't never given the appreciation we deserve. By the way ... that "lead paint" line was a very clever figure of speech on your part.
