    I didn't see any abusive comments and haven't complained to anyone about anything but if there's an issue with a 'prize' as seems the case i'll reiterate:

    1. I gave up at the time of the wine 'prize' thread because of the arguments it was causing. No one has sent me a PM to point out a great shout and i didn't see any that were worth shouting about.
    2. I made it clear info would not be counted.
    3. It's since been flagged up that Heis put up a decent shout at some point in the form of some kind of accumulator - i'm sure Heis won't mind me saying that he gets lots of his tips from the jockeys he works with and are, as such, info plus point below.
    4. One of the reasons i gave up at the start was because no one could agree on what was an acceptable number of selections to put up - i said i'd give 7 a day but almost everyone didn't like that idea and Rudey said he'd start throwing up numerous huge priced horses every day in the hope they'd get lucky - all we're talking about is a bottle of wine that costs about £20. That was something that didn't cross my mind before it was mentioned.
    5. I've barely been on because of some very serious family problems over the last three months and i've not had time or inclination to look at horse racing or this forum.
    6. It was in no way a marketing 'ploy' which i think is backed up by the fact i stated that many times in private messages to several people who were talking about the best way to run it.

    That's my tuppence worth on the matter. If anyone has any questions or comments they'd like to make then please feel free to message me. However, if anyone's looking to have an argument i'm not the person to do it with at the moment and won't be engaging.

    Bob, I’m certain that in no way was the ‘prize thread’ pulled because of you. I’m guessing Moderator Randy took offence (heaven knows why) at something I said on it. Won’t say anymore on the subject apart from it was a very generous gesture by you and all the best.

    It HAS been snowing, settled then stopped. More possible and dropping temperatures will make the road network dodgy
