An observation

[Grits]

This is unusual as I've not seen a website like this one, certainly not a horseracing site, where threads . . . any thread, any subject matter posted, can go south, can go down the toilet so quickly, by posters whose interruptions contribute nothing to the topic; but instead, provide one liners of sexual innuendo that is absolutely worthless as hell, except to those in need of getting a room, or a partner.

Am I new here? Yes, pretty much. Am I being bold to state this? Probably. Freedom of speech and all that, sure. But damn hijacking threads posted at a website so that one has to drudge through 5 pages of crap to come back to the topic at hand.

Esoteric central is a fine place, but does one feel they will not garner enough attention in that folder?

Y'all carry on. I'll keep tryin' to drudge thru.

8 minutes from now and it will be 24 hours since my last sexual innuendo and attempted thread hijacking.

I think I deserve a round of applause for the effort.

Grits,
You won't find a better group of people than the ones here. Fun and informative. Players tend to be pretty liberal with their comments as gamblers often do....I'll paste the thread about things most board members have in common so you can see the type of people you will find here...You will enjoy your time here.....http://derbytrail.com/forums/showthr...ghlight=common

We are just one big happy family, right Rand?

So many strong bonds have been formed from here (and the old ESPN board). I guess maybe sometimes we should be more "sensitive" to new posters. Just like it when newbies earn a little respect before calling others out.

Oh no, we aren't a happy family. Dysfunctional at best. But it doesnt mean the people aren't 90% good at heart. Therefore its a good group.
