rec.autos.simulators

Let me start by saying last night I let anger and pure frustration do
away with common logic. Today I recieved mail from Adam offering to
help me with my problem with the demo. That by itself was enough to
make me fully respect this man. I know if I had been in his place the
last thing I would have done would be to offer someone like me help.
While my actions were way out of line; the fact remains we are all
human and we all make mistakes. I am man enough to admit it so I am
doing so now( I just wish I had been man enough to control my anger
last night:) The part I found rather amusing was that I recieved mail
from three people today telling me they had been wanting to say the
same things for a long time but didn't out of fear of flames and kill
files. Hey; if you want to flame me or add me to your kill file that is
your right. The part that "I" find to be sad is when you have people
like Mark Fields that e-mail you and say they can't believe you have
said something that might upset Ed. Or they make post like( Ed please
don't leave we need you and we can't make it without you. Unless I'm
missing something like maybe these people have no real life; These sims
are for entertainment and not a matter of life and death. Don't take
this out of context because I'm not trying to make good of what I said
last night but at least I can admit when I am wrong. last but not least
a word to Adam. Even though you have heard this from me already I feel
you deserve a public apology from me and I am very sorry for my harsh
words last night. I love the demo and you will surely get my $$$ when
it is released.GREAT JOB!!!! To everyone else in this group I would
also like to apologize for my vulgar use of language last night.
Granted I was upset but there were many better ways of dealing with it
than the one I chose.

teacher can I take my nose off the chalk board now :)

Apology accepted :).  Hey, believe me, there have been plenty of times
when I have wanted to responed to people in a similar manner.  And the
thing is, I don't mind hearing criticism.  If you think something sucks,
then hey, tell me.  I may not agree with you, but I can respect your
opinion.  It's good to hear people like the game and all, but really, you
can only get better by listening to what people want to make better.  And
that's really what our goals are: to make the best damn games (racing or
otherwise) that we can.

Well said!  For some here, there is probably nothing you can do to
"repent".  Most I would assume will be willing to forgive.  I ALMOST
responded to your original post with some well intended flame, but
figured you were pissed about not getting it to run, and it was a
"heat of the moment" type post.   Besides the rest of the crew was
doing a fine job with the flames anyway. :)  I can't even guess what
kind of e-mail you got!
So did you get the demo to run yet?  If not, it will be a BIG egg on
your face do. <G>   It is MUCH better than I expected, and the
spotters add so much to the feel of the game.  Frame rate is
incredible as well!
