A reminder about RACE RESULTS

Please keep all mentions of race results and winners INSIDE your messages. Don't use the SUBJECT line to announce to the world that "so and so won the race." Thanks...you're co-operation will be appreciated my many who can't see a paticular race when you do. If you do post about a race...make sure you give some warning in the subject line so that users can AVOID your message until they have had a chance to view the race. dave henrie

Of course those who havn't seen the race could maybe use their common sense (assuming they have any) and avoid reading newsgroups and forums concerned with motorsport until they have seen the race. 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.

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. http://bovineracing.com/zgnews.htm

First off, there shouldn't be any frigging "real life" race reports in here to begin with. It'd be fine with me if we started blasting people who even brought the topics up. Unfortunately, you can also go to the flight sim or Quake newsgroups and end up seeing NASCAR or F1 race results. You really can't avoid them. 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. Tim

Hey, I apologized for that, more than once. And I made it a point today to stay away from the computer so I wouldn't be tempted to do it again. And if you refer to me as "putz" again, then we'll see who the true putz is.

You did apologize...no more complaints from me...I started this thread to head off any other mistakes over the weekend...I hopefully will remember and repeat this as a new thread next week. We all learn and move on...have fun. dave henrie "Russell D. Laughlin Jr., MCSE" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:PHet6.444313$[email hidden]... > Hey, I apologized for that, more than once.

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

plonk I was under the impression that this is an adult 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.

I'm pretty obnoxious, and that whole "see who the putz is" thing was really too much for me to resist. I had to see what was going to happen to me. 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. Tim (Super Putz)

Ok I have a confession to make....I started this thread for the benefit of others....I MYSELF get more enjoyment on HOW a race was won..not who..So even if I know somebody has won...I am still facinated by how he came from way back or unlapped himself...like that... But...I will repeat this thread each Friday or saturday in an attempt to keep others from making a careless mistake. We don't need more putz's around here :) dave henrie

Since I didn't get a chance to start my killfile, I did get to see this. I'm obnoxious also, and have been an off and on reader of this newsgroup for years. Just ask Don Wilshe about our lengthy discussions about MPlayer, Burnout, and why it took so damn long to get working. 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.
