I notice that my original post, along with a few replies, is missing from this thread "TGJB Prepares for The Dirty Deed". Was the deletion a mistake, or do I now belong in the class of "instigator". Too bad if that is the case, because it was a legitimate question regarding the long-term downward drift of the figs. [Note that I have no affiliation with any of the feuding factions that have literally made this site 'not worth visiting for weeks on end'. For I am Paolo, a steppenwolf, who shills for nobody.]

In retrospect, I have to say that some of the drivel is propagated by JB, who seems to always respond to the blatant ruffling of his feathers. A seemingly no-win situation where no-response might be the classier path. At times, your replies seem embarrassing and extremely defensive, considering all your accomplishments at TG; e.g., the web site with all of the products available on-line, the Redboard Room, the wealth of stats on the sheets, the clarity of the sheets (as opposed to some of the other products, where you might as well be reading a moldy old dishtowel), the Race of The Week, the consistency of the numbers...

I was considering posting additional thoughts regarding figure inflation, but I won't bother if I am on your delete list. I guess this is one way to test it out!
