LOL!
 This is hilarious! All the sound, fury and turmoil on this newsgroup over
the last couple of days . All the Warez threats, the national insults ,the
*** hatred of the "suits", the wild eyed declarations and the *ANGST*  and
it all boils down to a "mistake on our website" !
Oh my this is wonderful :) :) :) :)

Think you can scare those other goof balls into finishing and releasing Trans Am 68-72?

  "You mention, GP3 will be not be sold in the US market ? What is this
  marketing
  strategy ? FIA F1 returns to the US in 2000, the same year GP3 comes out,
  you deprive
  multiple thousands of sell ?  I will make a petition on my website
  regarding this issue.
  I'm in Canada, and if your marketing strategy is the same as GP500, then
  you're making a huge
  mistake. You're opening the door of WAREZ on the net. If your intention was
  to brought
  people in the North American continent to buy an import from either
  purchase on the
  net or head scratching mail order, then it will bounce back to you, since
  there will
  be an underground movement of hackers ready to put GP3 on top of the WAREZ.
  Think of it please.

  Think I scared the hell out of them, when they saw I was the webmaster of SRM <g>
