I'm sure most of us are aware that not everyone sees the race live and will
avoid mentioning the results. There are many people who may be new to
Usenet or infrequent users and they may not be aware of this.

All Dave is asking for is NO RESULTS IN THE HEADER. In ANY newgroup
dedicated to racing, this is a common courtesy.
It doesn't deny anyone of their right to post or to read the race
results, it just allows you to still read the group and skip over
posts which will spoil the outcome if you can't catch the race live.
Every time some jerk-off posts the outcome of a race in the header and
is confronted about it, they get all indignant and act like we're
trying to steal their right to free speech, just like that putz who
puts MCSE after his name did.

How about "Real life" Sim racing reports ;-) Every now and then there
would be someone(s) posting results, articles, ec.. about a league race here
in RAS. I kind of miss those.
The Zero Gee News is a Sim racing news letter posting such articles and
is open for any league to post their articles. Just recently they started
posting for CORS N4 league as well.. So... If your league has race reports
or stories, The ZGN is the perfect place for them.

If you don't want to know who won, don't come in...after a 12 hour
window.

Toooooo many posts to catch up on...I wouldn't be able to regale you all
with my infinite pearls of wisdom....:)

I was under the impression that this is an *** forum, which should be
devoid of name calling. But since you apparently cannot restrain from doing
so, you will be added to my very meager killfile. In fact, you're the first
entry.

You won't see this since I'm kill-filed, but maybe you'll see this
excerpted in someone elses reply.
I'm sorry, and I didn't think you were a regular reader of the
newsgroup.

Anyway, I accept your apology and therefore won't start my killfile with
your name. :)
It's hard to be obnoxious in usenet without offending someone along the way.
I do it myself enough.
