Hello all,
 Yes, I made the original post stating that I was boycotting this
group until the ICR2>N2 thing faded away. But then I began thinking
about it some more, and realized that perhaps the author of this
converter was on to something.  Since he worked so long and ***
the code for this program, and as a result should, as many denizens of
this newsgroup pointed out, be paid for his effort,  as the program
has no copyright issues, then...(whew!)  why not do the same thing and
charge for something that I've worked long, hard, and diligently on?

Here's the deal: guaranteed winners (for Nascar2).  You know, set-ups.

Here's my price list:
Talladega: $12.95 US  8 pounds UK
Sears Point: $18.95 US 11 pounds UK
N. Wilkesboro:  $2.00 US 1 pound UK
C***te (night AND day...a real bargain!!) $15.95 US 10 pounds UK

I'll post the prices for the rest later.  In the meantime, since I'm
expecting an avalanche of orders, do the best you can on your own with
the other tracks.

Regards,
Ben

I certainly hope this is a joke...

You could have saved a LOT of bandwidth if you'd just sent this. It's
the perfect encapsulation of your entire message, AND your original
thoughts on "boycotting" the newsgroup. BTW, please do.

An avalanche of orders?  At the prices you quote, and considering
you're an "unknown" in the multiplayer ranks, I doubt you'll get
anything but flames from your post.  Good luck, you'll need it.

Best Regards,

I think you could also argue that you'd have to be drunk not to see
it's a joke ... you were fooled and it's not even April 1! ;-)
