Well, no, but there is a certain standard one has come to expect of RAS
devotees. Of course we do have to skip the occasional post about Need for
Spud (the critically acclaimed new sim about the Irish Potato Famine ... not
too difficult for the masses to master), but that's a small price to pay for
the GPL community we have. Perhaps we can convert them ... with patience ...
and kindness ... and free soup.

Are you for real?  What constitutes a regular R.A.S.'er???  I won't even begin to go into what this says about your sense of what medium you just used to post that message, or the false sense of ownership you have about this newsgroup.  Maybe your  browsing  of the TEN newsgroup left a bad taste in your mouth? In any case, I assure you that there are 9 decent sim'ers for every single sim'er that conducts himself in a way that would be otherwise impossible, lest he get unwanted "physical therapy", without the secure and safe, anonymity of the internet.  So when you say **> If the plug is pulled on the Ten newsgroup . . . they'll all probably migrate over here**, let me remind you that segregation of the masses usually ends in war....and that is not what newsgroups are about.

And before I go, let me apologize to all who agree with me that the above is probably over the top.  I almost decided to just skip this post and not respond but I was immediately pissed off by what I read and those are my feelings whether good or bad.  I just hate to see a majority inappropriately judged by the actions of a minority.

Yeah, like I've been ingnoring all the open wheel posts here.
A little change is always good, personally I'd love to see more stock car
posts in here - it would give this newsgroup more diversity that it
desperately needs imho. After all, it is rec.autos.simulators , not
rec.autos.openwheel.simulators right?

Don't let them know that!!!!!!!!  Now we can't take the $13 dollars a month
they'll be saving!  Now I have to wait a few more years before I have a
Ferrari in my garage.   )-;

Bullshit!!  What is wrong with a little war or two??  Some of us are
also flight simmers and without a new war every few years we would have
less new flight sims.  How would you like it if they had no F1 or NASCAR
races for the last 40 years.  How about no NASCAR 2&3, GP1&2, or  GPL.
Worst yet, what if auto racing had been banned after WWII, we should
would have some crappy racing sims to talk about. :-) Paul

Other than that, I generally concur with what Rhawn had to say.

Truth be known, a good number of them probably already participate here,
but there's not much to talk about because for the last year, the
majority of attention has shifted to GPL.  I imagine that with the
release of N3, many of "the TEN people" will dump TEN and switch over to
free racing.  You won't be able to tell a "TEN person" from "r.a.s.
regulars".
