You're probably right about the cross posting - especially from folks who are committed to making this bb meaningless as a handicapping tool.

How about a "member's only" section which would be password protected and allow you to keep all of the nasty people out?

Or perhaps, upon purchasing the sheets on-line, the user would be given entry to a forum which could include a discussion of that day's races. That way posters could discuss numbers without fear of disclosing anything to the "non-paying". At least the posters would have paid for the privilege of posting on that particular day.

Its just that I do know of at least one new user who tried to discuss handicapping here, was totally ignored with all of the diatribe going on and decided to go elsewhere. I guess the raggies won in that case, but it would be nice to apply some approach which would make this bb worthwhile.
