proposal :
========================
Subject: RFD: rec.autos.simulators
Date: 12 Oct 1993 14:25:40 -0400
Organization: University of Geneva, Switzerland
This is a Request For Discussion on the creation of a newsgroup for computer
simulations of automobiles.
Group Name
---------
rec.autos.simulators
Status
------
Unmoderated
Rationale
---------
There is an increasing amount of software on the market that
provides simulation of automobiles (both in competitive and
non-competitive circumstances). This software is often
multi-platform and so no platform-dependent newsgroup would
provide an appropriate discussion forum for it. In addition,
rec.autos is an inappropriate forum as that group is not intended for
discussion of software.
It is intended that rec.autos.simulators would provide a forum
where
people could discuss such automotive simulation software
irrespective of the platforms on which it runs, and that abstract
technicalities of such software could also be discussed.
Email I have received, plus discussions in various newsgroups
(comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.misc, rec.autos.sport) and on the F1 Grand Prix
mailing list, has made it clear that such a group would be welcomed by many
usenetters.
Charter
-------
This newsgroup will be used for discussions of computer simulations of
automotive vehicles, irrespective of the platforms on hich said simulations
are supported. This will include simulations which have a competitive
component (racing simulations) and those which do not. Topics will include
(but are not restricted to):
o Global characteristics of particular simulations.
o Platform-dependent characteristics of such simulations (as a
convention, it is suggested that such discussions list the
platforms in the subject header, e.g.,
Subject: [ibm-pc,sun] Blog's Yugo simulator
o Design and implementation issues of such simulations.
o General discussion of automobile simulations.
Voting
------
If all goes according to plan, voting will take place 21 days from the
posting date of this RFD.
This RFD is being posted to the following newsgroups:
news.announce.newsgroups
news.groups
rec.autos
rec.autos.driving
rec.autos.sport
comp.sys.amiga.misc
comp.sys.atari.st
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.misc
comp.sys.mac.misc
Follow-ups directed to news.groups

Thanks for the info Ymenard.

Hmmm, I'd always wondered if it was you. Now, the pieces start to fall into
place ;o)

Don't forget, Frankie -- there are people still here who've been here as
long -- and LONGER -- than you; people whose memories aren't quite as
..."selective," shall we say?
Hope you STILL enjoy "Indy"

No! I say keep him behind bars!

I quite feel ***y pathetic thinking that I actually expected people to
believe me. I mean mmmm.. Frank knock knock?

You make me want to give David G. a hug; and that's inexcuseable. Goodbye.
