Default The Steve Byk appreciation thread

this is unbelievable,
in as angry a time as i have ever witnessed in america, along comes Steve Byk, who despite personal monetary expense, and using considerable time and effort, he has the good will to put together a forum where we can sit and talk horses.

lets lift our glasses (filled with your favorite beverage)
and toast the creator of DERBYTRAIL.com

HERE HERE !!! (they lift their mugs of their favorite beverages in a toast to the Man.)

thanks STEVE, you da man!

Steve,

Is that pic of you on this site an actual pic of you? If so, you are not a bad looking guy!

Steve -

I absolutely love this site, it's the first thing I check in the morning, I sneek peeks at it at work and I end my day with one final reading... one of the things I like best is that you really get a feeling of a "family" here (sometimes disfunctional and with a few black sheep, but still very loving). I've never met them, but I feel like I know Mermaid and GPK like any other friend in my life... lot of good people here Steve, and the credit goes to you and the other moderators. Thank you for all that you've done.

Now, my only question is, where can our loved ones go on-line to buy us Derby Trail gear for Christmas? Other than a fatter Brisbet account, all I really want for Christmas is a DT hat

D/C,

Thanks for the really kind comments... This is a lot like a big family, and I'm glad so many enjoy spending a big part of their day here. Joey, Bethani and Gioia do a great job keeping things streamlined and fun on DT with their moderating support, and their dedication is a great portion of the community's success.

Derby Trail caps are $22.50 and you can simply Email (stevebyk@derbytrail.com) me your address, etc. and I'll get one out to you. Am trying to finalize the other "DT Store" items as well..
