GPL - Has Reading/responding on this NG become an Obsession ?

I'm similar.

Being very busy with my CPA practice and family legal matters, I find I spend more time reading this NG (About 2.50 hours per day) than the time spent playing with all sims combined ! ! ! However, when I was into RC, toward the "end", I read mags more than racing ! Anyone else notice this ? Tim A. Deatherage "Admitted Sim ***"

Well ... I am relieved that there are at least two others who, after spending 10's of dollars on GPL, get as much or more enjoyment reading about the hands-on experiences of others who are actually logging laps. I read this NG during the day at work and at home in the evening. Am I (are we) strange or what?

It's sad to see a group of people so caught up in discussing something they enjoy that tey don't actually do it any more. Maybe it's a symtom of "net nerds"...all talk, no action!! Ben (....reading the NG postings AGAIN) :-P

Oh how about the show "Cheers". People turned on a TV show to watch a show about people at a pub, without going to a pub themselves. Kurt

A LOT of things are funny when you're drunk! Conversely, no one was ever drunk in Cheers. Martin Nigel Mansell RIP!

Well, you're even sadder, reading an ng in which you have no interest.
