Why are you so elitist on these boards? Not everyone has your cognitive gifts. You're so damn quick to snap and correct people with your snooty sarcasm. Also you're very quick to dismiss racing, and life, for that matter outside of the Empire State.

Maybe you can talk when you contribute to the board, instead of being a respond sniper....

Maybe because he is IN THE KNOW. He has no obligation to say ANYTHING at all, but he doesn't want the common people sounding like idiots when they talk to other people about things that are said on this board.

And for the last line, that is laughable.

I completely respect the knowledge of BTW. This is his profession and his opinions add value to this group. Couldn't he respond with more tact? The tone of his replies screams out, "You know nothing, I know most everything, so shut up." Again it's not about the content, it's the delivery!!

Do you know him? that is him, that is his personality, and trust me, he isn't demeaning anyone, he is just being a sarcastic smart ass, I can see how someone maybe misunderstands it being it is a message board, but ole boy doesn't have time to harm anyone, he is watching replays all day

His alleged (read: interpreted) 'lack of tact' is one of his most endearing qualities...
