General Announcement/thoughts

Steve,

I don't know who or what you are ... but I'm glad you're doing what you're doing.

Other thoroughbred racing sites have eventually been taken over by bitter old hags seeking revenge on all mankind ... or silly girls and even sillier girly-boys who get all weepy over the pretty horsies.

This site seems to be for adult males ... and sensible women ... who enjoy thoroughbred racing. Let's hope it stays that way.

Thanks much for setting it up.

Overall, I'd say the general atmosphere has settled in really well, and I hope no one is offended by anything I've deleted or edited, etc.. Those that know me well know I'm not a tight ass or prude, but I do want to keep the environment here civil and respectable.

I'm learning the ins and outs of the extensive Forum tools, and will get the avatar thing working soon.. I'm also seeing how I can edit posts, ban words and the like...

But personally, I don't want, and don't think I should need, to exersize those kinds of controls. This isn't like a "public" general sports site message board... Considering that EVERYONE who comes here is or wants to be a thoroughbred racing fan, I would think that all would respond to posters with mutual respect and appreciation.

As LBJ used to say... "Don't spit in the soup, we've all got to eat it."

Hope you're enjoying the Forum and the new home of Derby Trail.

Enjoy Belmon Day!
Steve Byk
