I've been at this game on and off for over 40 years. I have spent thousands of hours programming for myself and many others over the years. And damn near all of it for free. Over the last 5 years, I have become very close friends with Dave. It has never been a secret that he makes a living providing information to people that are interested in handicapping better.
I have several of his products and I have never been dissatisfied with one of them. I know how he feels about his customers and the lengths he will go to make sure the buying experience and satisfaction with his products are top notch. To besmirch his name is just totally unwarranted IMHO.
This is an open board and P.A. runs it his way. And civilized discourse is encouraged, as is marketing a product openly if you are a paid advertiser. Whether or not you agree with Dave's approach to the game is a personal matter, but any public display of discourtesy toward anyone as dedicated to the game as Dave is, just seems wrong.
I have seen over the years, some bullying and outright outlandish behavior here towards others, that had been done face to face would have had gotten the perpetrator a swift punch in the nose.
This diatribe is not just pointed at Denny, as it has been a long time coming. I've just restrained myself. Anyway, there it is. And I suggest to all, if you don't like someone's approach to the game or their products, keep it to yourself. If a product is not as it is advertised, then an honest critique of that product is helpful. But I believe that is the farthest it should go.
That's my two cents, which I happened to win at the track today...
