After much negotiating and trading of about 10 drafts, the DRF and I came to terms, and a 700 word version (out of the original 900) will run Sunday. It still has its teeth, although the ones biting the Form have been smoothed down a little. I took out the words "crusade" and "handwringing", they let me have an extra 100 words, everybody's happy.

On the EPO front, I think if you do a search of this site you will find other discussions. The most amazing thing about the DRF EPO story is not that NYRA used my idea, which I gave to TOBA and others, not NYRA, and which for all I know came up with it independently. The amazing part is that they are not making public which claims are being voided. This is at the same level as that crap in California about the positives not being made public. Holy smokes.
