Have to agree. I got in this morning after a long, hard night at work (do
they make any other kind?), collapsed in front of the TV while the
kettle boiled, turned the TV on without thinking...and there was the end
of ITV's live coverage. What I saw straight away was three drivers
sat at a table being interviewed... told me everything I didn't want to
know in an instant!
No-one to blame but myself :-)

Maybe - if that's the kind of area you live in , I don't know. I do
occupy the same Usenet as you however, and I wouldn't frequent r.a.s.
if I didn't want to know a result.
Cheers!

As far as individual drivers are concerned, I'm afraid to say that I'm
pretty indifferent to the majority of them these days. They simply come and
go, failing to inspire me in the same manner that their forerunners did! I
guess that some of these sanitised corporate drivers will be remembered and
revered by you and your kind for xenophobic reasons.
Still, as has been pointed out to me in no uncertain terms by others who
have posted in this thread, It was nieve of me to think that people would
follow honourable conventions such as using spoilers in their headers. I
concede this point and a lesson has been learned. I suppose that as long as
Usenet exists, there will always be ignorant ***s fully able, willing and
eager to***things up for others.

I'd done the same thing.

You *** face are just pissed off because Irvine did not win!!!
Marc.
Also, if the only reason you watch F1 races is to see who won, and get
mad and refuse to watch if you already know the winner, why the hell do
you pay any attention to racing at all? Just go see your bookie and
then wait for the result, win or lose. For that matter (tongue in
cheek here) just watch to see who is leading after the first few
corners, and you will usually know who wins.
Lighten up, please......

>> Yeah! Finnish motorsport rules!!!!!!!!!
I agree with you, I don't think it's fair to post this kind of stuff on this
NG. Because if you wanted to know who won, all you have to do is check the
F1 internet web sites.
But, you have to take some of the blame yourself, I live in the US (tape
delay 13 of the 16 races), and I don't get on to this newsgroup until after
the race, because of stuff like this.
Aah, you're just pissed off because the mighty Bromley beat Aldershot
last week :-)

PS I agree - putting "spoiler" in the header should be a common courtesy even if
perhaps people shouldn't check usenet until after the race...
