In my case, the ones I am arguing against are not the ones I'm trying to convince--the theory is similar to a political debate. My stated position from the time we started this board in '97 was to try and bring the Raggies out in the open so that I could deal with all the stuff said out in the field I never get to address.

I recognize that sometimes this becomes unpleasant for civilians. But on-line sales for the 3 Triple Crown days were up 50% from last year, and 488 different people downloaded on Derby Day, not counting comps, many of them former Raggies (Paul and I recognize the names, others have called here).
