Pet Peeve Aired

I have a "pet peeve" I would like to air regarding posts that "ask questions." I ran across this twice this morning.....but its an ongoing pet peeve I see fairly regularly on r.a.s. and other sim racing forums......so I decided I might not be the only person irritated by this. When you ask a question, then later find the answer yourself.....please post the answer you found. Why? A. Your self-discovered answer may not be correct....others can correct you. B. Others may have (probably do have) the same question and are watching your "string" for an answer too. Thanks for letting me "vent" about this..... Tom

I thought most people DID post their discoveries...? Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank - under construction... Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

<Snip!> If you find the answer, don't forget to post it. m'kay? /Jens

I'd be willing to bet it was the thread about the low low viewing perspective in the GT mod for F1 2001. Achim or Jens or Jan or one of the other guys(precise ain't I???) found the solution and posted a never mind to the question but didn't provide the how or where. dave henrie "Jens H.

It's a bum 'rap!"

I didn't want to be Mr. Clueless wisecracking about a topic everyone in the F12K1-community knows more about than I do. I'm a rookie who's spent less than an hour with the game. I thought the solution I found is most likely common knowledge to those who play F12K1 a lot, especially since there wasn't a single comment to my question. I thought the question is so basic everyone's bored by it <g> Anyway - as I see it, anyone interested should have posted to the same thread supporting the question. Or ask me after I found it. Even a Pizza service must be called before they deliver ;-) Achim "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:vtp08.27067$[email hidden]... > I'd be willing to bet it was the thread about the low low viewing > perspective in the GT mod for F1 2001.
