Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

It might be a good idea to get started on the new binary newsgroup before
killing the old one, just in case it takes a while.
Oh, 1:31s so far at Goodwood, FV class (F3 engine+F2 chassis = great online
racing) in the BRM no less. Goal is 1:30s by race time :-)

I have NO idea...but since you can somehow create newsgroups...I'm
assuming you can also delete them. Probably takes a petition to an
organizing body or some such thing. Hopefully we've got somebody here who
knows the process...otherwise it's google time for me...

Also I will use power post to send 10.822.MB files, in 33 pieces of every
league replay I have. Should help to get the point across.
