Oh well, I don't know why I reply to this troll but I will still continue...

It looks like (your are not the only one exactly), that some people are
affected because I have a great respect upon John Wallace.

I think this way come back to the http://www.racesimcentral.net/, where I
defended him when somebody flame him on a wheel controller axis situation.
Since then I receive some stupid message, from people like this.

Well, Y/e/menard has no god but Yoda, since wisdom and power, have shall he.

Oh, and please, since your new here, can you tell us your racing (or
SimRacing) experience you had or are having Mr. Not?

    Since you are probably relatively new to the world of racing simulator,
I think you should not really mess up with the big boys.  You know
absolutely nothing of who I am, what are my relations with any SimRacing
companies on the market, and what I do in my normal real life (Well, maybe).
You are categorized as a troll (and a USENET newbie), so it's up to you to
show the serious of yourself.

   What total garbage! When the full version is released you will have
to worry about tyre wear and being consistant. That should smooth things
out for you. You lot seem to be forgetting this is hotlapping at the
moment. Mostly, you all just seem totally incompetant when it comes to
driving/understanding a 60s F1 car! To call this an arcade game is
making a complete mockery of yourself. I was totally humbled for a few
hours and then some and I am an experienced simmer!

   In any case, it's great as it is! Maybe he should just take a step
back. A step back to NFS. :)

Without describing what exactly you don't like, chances are you're
never going to like it because it won't be changed.

Usenet is the ultimate in freedom of speech of speed and I have no
universal kill filter - if you feel unable to express an opinion while
I'm around then I'm sure an analyst can help you with it ;-)

Cheers!
