Smile What a Group!

I'm not real sure if this is where this post should go but I just wanted to offer my opinion on something....While I have never had the pleasure of personally meeting any of you in person and I don't play like some of you do, I have had the pleasure of conversing with many of you via the internet or phone calls going back to the old ESPN board. I just finished one of the best reads I've had in a long time and it can be found on this site.....It's the 11 page (and growing) thread about the pick six hit that Scav and Big had yesterday. If anyone has any doubts about the sincerity of the members, all they have to do is read the good lucks, the congrats, and the comments about the get togethers this Summer in that thread and they will quickly realize that this is a special board. Like I said, I don't play as much as you guys but that doesn't mean that the interest isn't there and everyone respects that. No cliques, no judging, just salt of the earth people that have been brought together by the love of the game and Steve's hard work. I could go on and on about how good the people on this board are, but we already know that....I just thought it was really cool to read that entire thread and for once having the story end the way it was supposed to.....

I really got admit that all the hoopla around here brought alot out of me, in a good way. Funny story. I was at Arlington with my friends this Saturday, and I saw Dellinger. He goes "What's up Scav" and I go talk to him. my friends go, "he called you Scav" and I proceed to tell them about DT. They don't understand what it is about and give me crap. Not a big deal at all. All of the thanks should go to Steve/Bethani/Joey for letting people essentially hang themselves. They keep the peace in a good way, you get plenty of leash to hang yourself, and if anyone tells you differently, tell them to GFT.

The amount of PM's that I recieved was just overwhelming, it was amazing. I feel like I am at the OTB with 140 people that I know everytime that I am on here. Not like a real OTB where there is 140 people that don't say anything to anyone

There isn't a GREATER Horse racing message board out there, and anyone that isn't here, is missing out.

I appreciate all the kind words as I am sure Biggie does, I have been friends with some people on here for 5-6 years and have never met them, and one time I was friends with two people, when they were really the same person (S2S on Youbet's board and now)

Same here my friends mock me about posting on a horse racing board. These guys are into racing. I keep telling them sign up and just try it out. They keep making fun of me about posting on the DT site. I told them I learned a lot on DT from a lot of great posters. Then I told them about you and Bigs hitting the pick 6 and how everyone was so happy about you two hitting it. They told me who cares if they hit it. I told them everybody on DT like to see other people succeed at the races. Congrats again Bigs and Scav. Hoepfully I can meet all the great people on DT at Toga, right now it's 50/50 if I can make it.

I think she was thinking of you when she left them out.
