Biology. An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.

One who lives off and flatters the rich; a sycophant.
A professional dinner guest, especially in ancient Greece.
Thus, for Steve Crist, you know....the subject of this thread, to be a parasite he would have to be feeding off racing fans while providing nothing in return. This is completely untrue, inaccurate, and grossly unfair. Steve's accomplishments for the betterment of racing fans are substantial and evident.
You, on the other hand, seem to be establishing a parasitic relationship with this board. Luckily, antibiotics are on the way.
