Hmmm, there are alot of remarks about people's attitude when entering
races.  Seems some people just won't take it seriously and this is
causing others great despair.  It has just occurred to me that anyone
who has the good fortune to LIVE within the local 619 area code can
sit on the network all day with no concern whatsoever for long-
distance charges and hence no particular consideration for those
paying top dollar to race.  They're probably the ones who are the
biggest hooligans. Perhaps Papyrus should set up a few nodes in, say,
Anchorage for anyone dialing from the Boston area. The level of
entrant consideration for other drivers would probably improve
immeasurably.

I guess I'm kidding - but I wonder...

Oops! Typo!!  I'm in the 619 area code (San Diego), and believe me when I say
it ain't cheap.

Actually one of the first things I thought of when I started seeing comments
about people paying more or less or nothing for Long Distance to get on the
network was to simply split all 0-1 rated drivers according to whether they
are calling Long Distance or not. This could be facilitated with area codes
fairly easily I believe, and would prevent the 'local yokels' from preventing
you from improving your rating in a reasonable length of time. Of course, they
could program the network to allow you to be entered into that category
optionally (if there was someone who did not want to be restricted from racing
local 0-1 rated drivers).

Just a thought.
