This news-group kicks butt. I find better game reviews and game tech info here than in any magazine. For anyone new to this NG read on and enjoy. If you have any common sense you'll be able to sort the junk from the really helpfull info. Just my 2 cents worth. Dan

If >you have any common sense you'll be able to sort the junk from the really >helpfull info. And it's free to all also !! That was the purpose of the creation of r.a.s. , back in 1993 with me and Gerhard Lingenberg. At first it was pretty small, but with the help of everybody is grown to what it is today. It had up's and down's (many!), but still it is, was and will be the center of the Simracing community. I'm kinda proud of my "baby" ;-) Just read it 1-2 months, learn all about it (the FAQ also). But when people come here, post already without knowing the newsgroup`s netiquette and throw r.a.s. apart, it doesn`t have a place here. (to micro$oft). You just can't know the power we can have here. Boycotting is pretty easy for us (not that I am not happy about C:PR, it's just not what everybody expected). `Still it isn't no more a moderated newsgroup :-) (should I put it moderated another time ? hee hee) <g> With great respect, May the downforce be with you, Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) Fran?ois Mnard, "ymenard" on NROS Team member, Zombie Entreprise Sponsored by AWPSS, http://www.awpss.com/ SimRacing director, AWPSS Official PR, AWPSS Director, The SimRacing Hall-of-Fame Co-director, Light-Speed - *Excuse me for my poor English(I'm French speaking) * -

Excuse me???? Let me get this straight. Earlier this year you pathetically tried to pass yourself off as the leader of RAS. Now you claim that you CREATED it??? Unbelievable! You and Gerhard, huh? Well, at least Gerhard made a significant contribution to the sim community, creating the ICR2/N1 track convertors. You? About the only thing I can remember from you is posting pirated software to make people happyhappyhappy.

Oh well, it's start again.... Many poeple know that I created it in 1993 (January of 1993 exactly). If you want me to put the history of the creation reply to it.... The leader of r.a.s. was a flop for an attempt to put r.a.s. moderated in june97. Get your point straitghs. I just want to forget this dark period (my fault at 100%). The Happy!happy! things were a sign that I am here to help people, not to flame them. Most of the poeple know that ymenard=r.a.s. I never flammed a simracers (except Mr. Noonan and I am sorry about that). I never (well, not really) posted pirated software on websites or anything. Get another time your point-straight. I am anti-piracy. I e-mail Papyrus when I see people posting illegal tracks on their websites. The only thing I did was to post the Indy track for Icr2 back 2years ago here. I had a semi-approbation from Papyrus, telling that if I wanted to send it to people it was ok, but not in a public part of the Internet. I was able to send it per e-mail. At this time they were talking with some Indianapolis autorites about Indianapolis for Nascar2, so they just told me to not post it in a public part of the net. I said Ok. I even received a phone call from a Papyrus employee for the track posting. I only did that 1 time, It was 2years ago, and I am still sorry. If you want more info about the r.a.s. history no problem just e-mail me. Or reply to me. I will be glad to make it clear once and for all.

Ronnie is my team partner on NROS. He knows me personnaly and he can tell you I am not the ego-centric and God type of person that I am on r.a.s. He told me my two biggest qualities. Able and fair. Lol that isn`t the "me" you all know ! Btw Ronny I saw a 196 qual at Talladega at 70degrees and no wind, without driving in the pits (wow !). I was really amazed by that. Looks like work to do for us ! :-( :-) Hope to see you back soon on NROS.

I knew it was too good to last. For months the glorious leader lay dormant, like a really bad subcutaneous blackhead. The, voila! (my French, it, how you say, "sucks"), up he pops like a raging, pus-oozing chin zit. Gee whiz, Fran?ois -- did you invent the telephone and sliced bread, too? <<I am anti-piracy. I e-mail Papyrus when I see people posting illegal tracks on their websites. The only thing I did was to post the Indy track for Icr2 back 2years ago here.>> I love it! You boost the Indy track and publicly post it -- which is perfectly OK, because you got a semi-approbation from Papyrus), and then you go snooping around other peoples' websites so you can narc them to the Pap. You are one hell of a civic-minded citizen, Frankie... How much more of this drivel are you going to spew THIS time around? Give me a rough time frame so I can leave and come back after you've shut up again. My kingdom for a killfile... Bart brown

I just wanted to put some actions here. The CART:PR thread was started to get less attention so I wanted to continue with the "r.a.s. crisis mode" <g> Well.... I know people who made such things to me with the Indy track, so why not get my kinda "revenge" on others :) Dunno. It doesnt depend on me. It depends on how much people get into this. Like each time, I only start things, and the others take action. And I laugh, write notes, take it with a smile. Make it about 1week ? less ? I am honored, my servant... but hey if I`m on your kill file, how can you read my posts ?? <g> Mr. El Barto ?
