At the risk of having a new asshole reamed by many of the posters here because in their eyes I'm just a "lucky asshole bugler", I'm going out on a limb here to offer my observations ( I do get paid to observe, so I'm confident that I know my observations are accurate) and hope you will be patient enough to indulge me here:

Chuck: I used to have a real problem with anger and depression. I got help and got "cured", although many people choose to put me "in a box" and refuse to believe it. That's a long story and I won't go into the details, but there was one time before I got help that my younger brother said to me after I was complaining about a family matter: "You know, we know everything you say is right, but your delivery sucks! And therefore we ignore you."

I know Todd well enough to say hello. He knows who I am and we used to watch races together when he worked for Lukas. He's not a friend, just an aquaintance. But we have a mutual respect for each other. He has no problem walking up to me (unlike his boss) and shaking my hand.

I personally do not believe he's a cheater, just a great student and has learned from mistakes of his teachers. But I do believe that there is so much cheating going on that I choose not to put my $ through the windows any more as a professional handicapper (with lifetime profit in the tens of thousands of dollars still intact).

I do think some of the personal attacks against Chuck are warrented because of his delivery, but I also look at those same people attacking Chuck and their posts and can't help but think they are sadly brainwashed into believing that Chuck's accusations are impossible.
