Life has it's realities, good and bad. I am jaded to some, others cannot be
ignored.
However, like most humans, I seek some form of shelter from the indignities
and inhumanities I witness.
The main reason I build my own computers is to get the best rig I can so I
may sim race better. I upgrade when it seems practical, and I rely on many
sources for my information before I choose a path.
In the past, RAS has been one of those sources. But lately, like so many
other news groups, RAS has been diluted with off topic ranting, mud slinging
etc. I like to read this newsgroup daily, to check up on the sim world in
general, and to forget the real world for a while.
It's hard to do when the real world is so prolific in this newsgroup. I
re-read the RAS charter, and it clearly states that posting topics other
than sim related items is forbidden.
I am not insensitive to these issues, however, there is a more appropriate
forum for non-sim
discussions. I would be very disappointed if I found myself feeling that
RAS is no longer the pure pool of sim knowledge it used to be, and has
become a muddy bucket of chaotic chatter.
Please do not let focus of this newsgroup get away from us.

This is exactly why I've taken to calling this newsgroup rec.autos.moaners.
If you read this newsgroup on a regular basis you know who the "serious
posters" are and should have (like myself, eventhough I breeze by now and
again) developed a 6th sense for on-topic posts. There's still a lot of
usefull information to be had, you just need to be a little selective in
your reading.
This newsgroup is broadminded and relaxed, just the way I like it.

Me 2 !
I agree with the good Doctor. Seems like this plea makes a lot
of sense to me.. {imho} Remember we have 1000s of readers
who never post here. So please read what '5th Doctor' writes
and please try to remember why rec.autos.simulators is here!!
Cheers Thom_j.
