This is a very close and helpful group. In my opinion, it is due to the "global" content of its subscribers and the racing community in general. Just don't get them going on Mclaren vs. Ferrari.

I'm an American and have had the pleasure of visiting both Australia and New Zealand. From my experiences, the people in both of these countries are the nicest I have ever encountered. You go into a gas station, and the attendant treats you like a long lost relative. One day, my wife and I were trying to catch a bus from the boonies into Sydney. A bus driver stopped and told us that we would have to catch a different bus at a different station. The other station wasn't on his route, but he told us to hop in and took us to the connection anyway. By contrast, on our way home from Australia, we stopped in Hawaii, and we were waiting for a bus to take us to the Norh Shore of Oahu. A bus came by and didn't open its doors at the stop. When I knocked on the door to ask the driver a question, he just glared at me and sped off. Welcome back to America! Sure there are great people (and assholes) everywhere, but there sure seems to be a very high percentage of the former down in that part of the world.

There are alot of helpful people out there. About 8 years ago I started up a BBS and ran it for about 3 years. There were a few times that I would run into trouble (car died, etc) and if I posted a message on my BBS, I was ALWAYS able to find someone to help me. Always for free. The part about the car, my cars engine had finally had enough after 200,000+ miles and it went out. A gentleman on my BBS read my message and offered his full services. I paid for a rebuilt engine (I think it was $550) and he spent the whole weekend with me replacing it in my car. He even had to go out and buy special tools to do so. He would not let me pay him back for the tools because as he said "I will use them again one day". Because of people like that and the help I have received in the past, I always try to help others when I can. Usually this has to do with computers, but at least it is a service that I can provide for free. Help others freely because you just never know when you may need the favor returned Dennis Forde <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:38e30c68$0$[email hidden]... > Hi, > I've always known that this is a special N\G,most legitimate problem'sthat > are asked here,are answered and in depth,a week ago i posted that in mypart > of the world(aussie)i could not buy a copy of icr2/cart,after a couple of > helpful emails,out of the blue i get one from mike who lives in sydney > (3000k away)not only have they copies of icr2 in sydney @ $5 he goes outand > buys a copy,then post it at his expense to me,man what can i say otherthan > thanks,we definately have one hellava sim community here on this R.A.S > all the best and good simming dennis > >

The Germans certainly aren't as outgoing or friendly to strangers as the Aussies and Kiwis, but who is? I remember having a nice conversation with some folks in the Hofbrau Haus in Munich while trying to use my three years of high school German (about fifteen years after the fact).

Don't worry about Mr.JS. He's obviously just a generalizing little pinhead... ..or he's just always meeting the wrong people. ;^) -- l8er ronny Your mouse has moved.

Hi Ronald, Have some experience myself. I'm german and lived in South-East Asia since 3 years :-) The people's behaviour was quite a shock for me coming back to Germany for a short trip 2 years ago.
