The loss of Coach Pants was almost insurmountable, and now coupled with the frequent, consistent and glaringly steady stream of departing DT regulars - our situation has surpassed alarming, and is now boarding on critical. Del Mar Fruit Club critical.

Occasionally, decisions are made that on the surface, appear to be salient in logic, forthright, and intelligently thought out. One such decision, I humbly may suggest, was the darting of an ENTIRE ROOM. Drastic, yes. But on the surface, a very effective method of staving off interactions between DT members that may have been taken out of context to presume nasty, personal attacks on one another.

One unintended consequence of vaporizing the entire room is that the action also opened the exit doors to a great number of frequent posters, some with ties to the horsey world, some not, but contributors nonetheless.

The unfortunate upshot of all of this is that the forum has become veritable wasteland, it's namesake in full stride, just 7 weeks removed from the Derby. It should not be this way. We need to reinstate the politico room, and invite our long lost regulars back with open arms.
We also need to reach out to some of the other forums and invite them back to the newly rejuvenated DT.

Having trouble logging in today; I had to e-mail the administrator to see what's going on. Probably related to my browser or something with AOL.

Yes; can't complain about their service too much, but sometimes I have to switch to another browser like Google Chrome. Some websites balk at the IE browser that AOL uses.

Default Remington High Q Test

Am I the only one having problems with this contest? I put my picks in through the Facebook login, but the standings show I didn't play yesterday, so I lost a shoe. Actually I had a win and two 2nd's.

I've e-mailed their support team, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

Tonight's picks:

10 - 9
11 - 2
12 - 5

Never mind, it's all on me.

It seems I forgot to hit "Review Picks," then "Submit Entry," so my picks never got in. Pretty user-unfriendly if you ask me because one would think that after you "Make Your Pick," you're in.

Still alive, but lost one shoe. Actually, with so many people eliminated already, I'm wondering if a lot of them might have failed to get their picks in for the same reason as me.

Tonight, I've got verification for:

10 - 9
11 - 2
12 - 5

Right. I realize that now; file under "live and learn." I should have known that there were two more steps after "make your picks."

What was that line about "fool me once" uttered by a former Prez?
