Anyway, I'm done with that argument, because this thread should be 100% positive considering today's result.

Me smart? You have got to be kidding? My MO? Where in Gods name....?

If smart is figuring out things quickly I am definitely dumb. If smart is being curious I am probably smart. But we cant walk on eggshells here. I guess there is a fine line that I may have to figure out. Face to face would be much easier. But the majority of folks are from the NY area and the Chic. area it seems.

I do not watch horses or play horses nearly as frequently as the majority of people on this board (I think this is true). I dont want to antagonize anyone. I realize however, I write too authoritatively (for a purpose). If one met me face to face, then I think it would be understood that I am really interested in other's opinions. At least thats what I am told by the people who actually know me. I read this board much more than I post. And I also realize my posts are excessive.

But I will continue to make statements that evoke answers that help me to understand. I will continue to throw out statements to get something useful started (for me at least, this may be selfish). Just helps me to figure out things out. I may be the only person on this board who actually misses Oracle and I definitely got the feeling he disliked me immensely by his responses. But along with these responses I found what I thought to be some very insightful comments. I guess everyone has their own reasons for even posting on a board like this.

ONe other thing to consider, because I dont think many people remember this; I was one of the people that begged the Chicago people to stay even though they thought "we" were idiots on the ESPN board. I remember asking Hooves and Dellinger to please stay as I thought they contributed a great deal (beyond the ranting of Rembrandt). I think Scavs came in separately, and Playa had already been on ESPN. I think Arljim came in after hooves and dellinger. So I will use that to justify my existence in this space.

Ateam you may find me irrelevant and thats fine. But I wont ignore you because I find you valuable for your thought process as I do many members of this board. Take that anyway you want to.

Can Oracle ever come back? And where did Gander go? Off topic, wrong thread, but I liked reading their stuff.
