RASCAR: For Non-Rascar people that whined about it

I was resisting the urge to say...

   "Bite me.  I'll post what I want, when I want, where I want."

...but I think I hurt myself.

1) This is R.A.S.. The messages I post are for the guys that race in
R.A.S.CAR.  I don't think I need to point out the correlation, unless
of course we're dealing with someone out there that's a REAL slow
learner.

2) I tried a combined message, but I got exactly TWO responses. If
you noticed that I sent out at least a dozen specific requests for
information, you can obviously see that the unified message had no
noticeable effect.

3) I don't use Yahoo, AIM, ICQ, ICU, UC-ME, or any other cutsie
little program. Since I'm one of the admins (not to mention the one
with the sortest fuse), nobody else will use it for RASCAR stuff
either.

4) I'm not here to be anyone's friend. I'm here to get everyone's
ducks lined up in a neat little row, not to make sure I haven't
defaced anyone's sensitivities. God knows I got a lot of other
computer stuff I haave to do that doesn't even impact RASCAR.

5) Stop whining and put RASCAR in your filter list.

6) If you want some say as to what goes on in and around RASCAR, join
the group. Until then, STFU.

Oh yeah...

7) Bite me.  I'll post what I want, when I want, where I want.

Thanks John.  Glad to see you have full control of this group.  All I was
asking for is if perhaps the posts could be kept under control but
apparently that is asking too much.  Since you have a short fuse and don't
***around I guess your the self proclaimed boss.
Good luck with the group and RASCAR, you will most likely need it.

Every league needs someone who's willing to be unpopular to keep things
running. I, for one, am glad John took/takes charge the way he did/does.
There would be no way for this thing to work without him.

Your overly sensitive constitution?  :)

Think about it Carl - if we let the inmates run the asylum, there
would be chaos (or at least more than there is now).  I don't
remember seeing any of the RASCXAR guys complain about the frequent
GPL posts.  I mean, how dare anyone post a message about GPL in r.a.s
when the game is almost five years old!  The GALL!

Nobody likes a whiney ***.

I think everyone who didn't have the priviledge to run in IGPS is
finally geting a taste of what it was like in my other leagues.

I will also take this opportunity to remind all the whiney ***es
that the only IGPS stuff ever seen in this newsgroup was a few
announcements about league startup, and a few fond memries of the
good old days. Why?  Because league announcments and admin for IGPS
would have been inappropriate because it wasn't about r.a.s.  On the
other hand, RASCAR *is* about r.a.s.

For the record, if anyone wants to take over the reins of RASCAR from
Eldred, Ed, and myself, you can do as you please with it.

Darn, and I didn't see a single hand go up...

I got a better idea, why don't you stop whining and put every message but
RASCAR in your filter list?

You seem to think that you can say what you want where you want and how you
want, yet no one else can do that.

Myself, I don't care about the RASCAR posts, though I've always wondered why
you guys don't have your own board or try to create your own usenet group.

Does it take too much effort or is everyone too busy lining up ducks in
order to implement such a plan?

In the end if someone doesn't like the RASCAR posts, they could filter.  But
the proper thing to do would be for you guys to try to create a new usenet
group or set up a board somewhere.

But if domination and snootiness is the name of your game, then I suppose
you'd keep on doing what your doing.

GPL is a simulator.  RASCAR is a league.  There's an important difference.
An occasional RASCAR post is OK, but 5 in a row is way out of line.
Discussing GPL provides information on simulators to interested readers, but
reporting who did what in a league is irrelevant to anyone not involved.
How would you like it if all of the Need For Speed guys suddenly announced
that their leagues are now open to RAS readers and started making 10 posts
per day.  A little courtesy please.

Hi,

Well...i am a nascar person and usually don't mind posts about
whatever but, nothing personal,  this RASCAR stuff is getting to be a
serious annoyance in this newsgroup. And yes...r.a.s...rascar...lovely
letter similarity but please start your own newsgroup...it's not that
hard to do.

Cheerios

1) 10 post per day is a drop in a buckett.

2) if they'd flag their post I could filter them if I wanted to.

Put it this way: at least 2/3rds of what is posted on RAS doesn't interest
me in the slightest. Now, I could get all technical and tweak my newsgroup
filter until I was blue in the face. On the other hand, just not downloading
messages whose subject doesn't ring my bell works awfully good for me.

Wow, that's the most astounding example of a complet lack of reading
comprehension that I've seen in a long time.  I never said they
couldn't post what they wanted, I was merely asserting my right to do
so, and offering a workaround for anyone that doesn't like to see the
RAASCAR messages.  Of course, that statement was probably a complete
waste on you, despite the plain and un-decorated description used.

Asked and answered.

If it was too much work, nobody would do it.

You can't just "create a new usenet group.  How long have you been
using the internet?

I don't ythink I'm being "snooty" or "domineering".  Someone else
started slingin shit - I just picked it up and threw it back.

RASCAR is about a simulatror used by people that participate in
R.A.S. How the hopeless flyin' !***! is that not applicable to this
newsgroup?  I got more for all of you, but I figured I'd stop...
