OK. But IMO a good writer says as much as they can in as few words as they
can. That's why IMO Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishmwent is a much better
book than The Brothers Karamazov. Reading The Brothers Karamazov is like
reading a long winded soap opera, sort of like your post was. ;)

Reflecting on a week of highs (ok, high) & lows online, I still think
I'll probably quit iRacing next week. But I'm glad I tried it, and I
think it is -- in the same way that GPL was -- well ahead of the
competition in terms of physics and the 'feel' of the car underneath you.
The combination of aural and force feedback, and the responsiveness of
the cars (well, the SB2K anyway) is well worth experiencing.
However there are, indeed, many flaws, and I think they're definitely
pushing their luck by opening the doors to the general simming public at
this stage. I suspect this is only happening because of poor take-up on
the invites (%-age wise) leading to a smaller racing pool than required
to drive the service at other than peak times. There's too much wheat
online, and not enough chaff like me. :-) Though until they adopt a mass
market, two-tier structure I think that will always be the case. Weekend
racers like myself will struggle to find motivation
I wish the project well though, and I suspect I'll find it very hard to
replace on my HD.

I concur as to the Skippy shorthand. It does bring images of teletubbieish
racecars skipping hand in hand through flowery meadows,; in other words, too
damn cute for any *** male to say out loud. I find myself resisting the
sugary tide be using Skip as my shorthand of choice. While not ideal at
least it gets rid of the cutsey ending and, since an English acquiaintance
informs me that skip can be a dumpster in the foggy isle, it brings a
certain working mans aroma to the name.

Ah, another Disney fan, I see. Unfortunately, Disney is not reality.
True that, it is for opinions. IMO, you are a cunt.

My suspicion is that those complaining would be "buy"-products of the TV
generation with attention spans lasting less than 10 seconds.
For example; Americans are now "praising" O'bama as the new "savior of
change" and yet 10 seconds of thinking would make them realize that O'bama's
a *** relative (cousin) to Bush and Cheney and Kerry...... More of the
same equals "change" LOL
Keep writing... I'm still a READER, I stay away from the "truthless tv" and
I still have the ability to concentrate for over a minute. Your posts have
a lot of information and are also (dare I say) FUN to read.
