Hi THUNDER, thank you for sharing your decisions with us-after all the hard work you put into handicapping. I've come to this site nearly every day (and usually several times each day), for what seems like 2 years. I've come to respect you and about 10 others through time. My jaw literally dropped when I saw the changes today at this site, and went through many emotions, read a few posts representing different peoples thoughts and opinions. I guess I can't complain. I'm here for free, nobody owes me anything and I don't owe anyone anything. I can pick and choose and learn, just like before. If you are so good at something, and feel your efforts should be paid for, and can get people to pay, and you can consistently deliver the goods and give them value for their money-well good for you. There can't be anything wrong with that. But there's something noble about having a gift, and an attitude of sharing with those less fortunate- both in the art of handicapping, and in the form of cash. And I applaud you for your unselfish attitude as you've been a part of this 'family' for so long, and I know I always smile when I see your name after an absence and you are back once again! I'm happy for the 3 top notch cappers-but I'm thrilled that you are here, with us, in the trenches! We've not been left to fend for ourselves! Just had to post a word of encouragement to you, and thanks, I know you have many devoted followers, and will have alot more!
