Sorry for the confusion, Stefan.

That is the only number that I know about....others may have a list of the
different numbers.

If I didn't know better , I'd swear that ymenard and Bruce were married
judging by the way the're constantly bickering over language subtleties.

Hey man relax Bruce, I was just stating that you wrote F12 in your subject
header which might have confused some people.  It wasn't harsh at all,
actually it wasn't really compare to when you actually do such thing!
Remember your failure with the "grill" situation.

Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.

> now spends all of his time on newsgroups...

Hey, I appreciate this form of communications over the other parts of the
Internet.  It's a choice no?  Btw did you wrote this just because I wrote a
couple of words on you in Jacob's NG?

LOL ;)    I'm good, but I have my style.  I have learned from the
Villeneuve.  Give my any car, any setup and I'll push it to the limit (and
often past it).  I'm spectacular to watch, but I know it's not the fastest
way.  It's my fastest way.  I would be a good Rally driver ;)

It's somehow true, I don't have much time to devote to racing sims.
Basically I have a couple of hours free per night, so I need to decide what
I do with them.  I most of the times prefer to hop on newsgroups and
communicate with the world.  Try to put out my opinions for the community.
I'll often check out VROC or ICQ, but my racing time has diminuish by much
since the end of the NROS when I was 12hours per day there as a NROS Guide.

I remember somebody who did that in the NG a couple of months.  He basically
retired of r.a.s. because he didn't had anymore time to devote to racing
sims.  I can understand him.  I don't see why you think it's a bad thing
either to devote time on the Usenet.  It's a great tool of communication.

I also suffer from major procrastination.  UGH!

LOL funny but untrue ;-)   Anyway ymenard is unique and my propriety.

LMAO! ;-D

If you ever see that I'm about to do that, contact me via email DIRECTLY
because something is truely wrong ;-)

Who knows?  Perhaps WSC and N4 will cure my psychological problems  ;-)

Well, neither my wife nor I bicker over language subtleties and I doubt if
there'd be too many married couples who would!

"Failure"? Because the French use both versions for the same thing whereas
the English trend is to use them separately?

Yeah...."failure" for sure, Frank!

You should also apply this to your writing from time to time, instead of
babbling some non-sense you don't know just for the sake of being grouchy.

I'm so glad you learned your lesson.  Don't do to others what you don't like
to be done to yourself.

And yes, it was a _failure_.  Anybody who has knowledge of motorsport terms
know that we use the word GRILL.  Heck I've just searched my dictionary of
automotive term and it's there as the alternate spelling of grille.
Everybody who wants to point out the front of car in Stockcar tells it's a
*grill*.  Nice try Bruce.

FYI, in French it's "grille" and only that.  It wasn't even a French thing,
LMAO!

For the record, let this disinterested third party state that your initial response to Bruce did indeed seem harsh and unnecessary.  In terms of marital language subtlety discussions, it would be called "pissy".  FWIW.
