70,000 Spectators at Kyalami for test last week........!!!!

>Kyalami's Nathan to Meet Ecclestone Aw c'mon... Old news... Would you please stop posting to this forum everything you read on the web, unless it is ON-TOPIC? Even if I sometimes find these posts very interesting, I don't thing this newsgroup is the right place for them. Unless Bernie Ecclestone starts making sims... A. Renault

>Kyalami's Nathan to Meet Ecclestone Oh and BTW, are you sure you're not violating copyrights of some sort when you're posting articles from the net without mentionning the original author? Unless you are the author... Are you? A. Renault

AGGH, Let's hope NOT!!!!! It would cost about $1 million per copy and he would DECIDE who could would have the "privledge" of buying it! :-( -Dave Unless Bernie Ecclestone -- Dave Schwabe The Aussie Toad -- Grand Prix Legends & Brabham site http://users.wi.net/~schwabe

<snip> This is old news btw, and it would be more appropriate if posted on rec.autos.sport.f1 -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you...

I don't know, though - I usually find his stuff informative and interesting and only marginally off-topic. My computer exists for racing and the hardware stuff he posts applies to them. Loads of people are posting stuff about 3D-cards, CPU's, modems etc all the time - seems a bit harsh to single Chatham out. Bernie Ecclestone is interesting (though not in this capacity) because he is usually the person who stops sims getting licences. Cheers, Paul

But IMHO he should at least comment on the news, not just post it without any informations about the source... Those you refer to (the guys talkin about hardware) usually post tidbits of info they picked from some internet sites in order to make a point or to illustrate an opinion... That's not what Chatham has been doing lately... Again it's just my opinion, but I still think many will agree. And I devote a few minutes every day to hate him better... C'mon, Ecclestone, we should all share the wealth, man! A. Renault

Maybe he could start a weekly newsletter or something, and send it only to those interested... Personnally if I wanna hear about hardware or F1 I read the appropriate newsgroups. So what I'm trying to say is he should first of all post to the appropriate newsgroup, and second he should add an URL or something as to where the info comes from. Who haven't had an off-topic post once in a while... I'm not bothered when it's occasionnal, but Chatham seems to think he can entertain us every day with these kind of posts. I just wanted to sound my opinions so he knows not everyone's pleased with this. A. Renault

> And I devote a few minutes every day to hate him better... C'mon, > Ecclestone, we should all share the wealth, man! Now we are common ground. The guy is so corrupt and so money grubbing. I heard on this forum he asked UbiSoft $13 million for the licence for MGPRS2. Sounds a hell of a lot. Through his dodgy links with the FIA he got the German truck racing series cancelled because it was threatened his precious F1 cash cow. I could go on..... Cheers, Paul
