Flame warAnonymous demand that RASCAR get its own newsgroup

An anonymous poster demanded that RASCAR move its bickering elsewhere, drawing a crude reply from John Simmons and accusations that the poster was replying to himself under another name. Others recommended filters or simply ignoring the threads. The discussion drifted into a debate about the Forte Agent newsreader.

Ok I have had enough of this RASCAR crap! How is it that one lousy league can come in and dominate this forum? Have some consideration for those that come here from other leagues for legitimate news, and discussions we all can appreciate. Personally after all the bickering that RASCAR people do, I wouldn't consider being a member. My time is much to valuable to waste sifting through RASCAR whining. You all killed RASCAR so, please don't cripple this forum also!
But apparently not valuable enough to take time creating a fake addy? Just curious, that's all. -- Tim White "Piss on RASCAR" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7xR2b.1831$[email hidden]... > My time is much to valuable to waste > sifting through RASCAR whining.

If you're so tired of RASCAR posts, why don't you go back to posting on alt.gay.assholes?

Rascar does need its own group and/or forum, some of us come to this page to get info on sims etc not to hear your league bullshit!

You ought to get one of these new mouse's, they have a scroll wheel and 2 or 3 buttons. You just scroll to the post you want to read and push the button, Voila! you don't have to read the ones you don't want to. Modern technology is just tremendous. <G>

Really, John, just ignore the stuff. There's nothing anyone can do about RASCAR posts here. If they want to screen out the posts dealing with RASCAR it is easily done. Don't waste your time arguing. Life is short, as they say. Enjoy. Alanb
Oh, blow it out your ear! Ever heard of the word "ignore"? Well, that's what YOU may choose to do if you are not interested in any particular header and it's exactly what *I* can do with your post.

Jeez John, with subtle comments like this, I'm not suprised some people have had some difficulties handling them. He has a valid point; all this (in)fighting ought to stop, or be moved to some private (rascar) forum. R.a.s. isn't exactly turning into the lovefest it oughta be with catfights like this. Guys, go have a stunt car race somewhere. It'll clear your head. Regards, Rudy (GPLRank -7.8)

Could you qualify that statement please? I can understand Agent is not suitable for every user, but it is superb at what it does, and I cannot understand how you can call it tripe. What I think puts a lot of people off is that the default settings of it are awful, and it takes about half an hour to set it up to realise its potential. Andrew.

Fer christ's sake Ruud, look at what he posted, and then continue to wonder why I responded that way. He posted anonymously, and he posted crap. He's a buffoon.

Man, I couldn't agree with you more. I bought it a long time ago, based on all the 'hype'. It's the worst user interface I've ever seen. The damned thing can't even sort by subject and date! Options/Preferences/choices (depending on what they tacked on and when) are scattered across a myriad of menu's and sub-menu's, and the layout makes no sense at all. I quit using it years ago. -Larry "Damien Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bihnoc$9h35s$[email hidden]...

Um, this I know :) I mean BOTH at the same time. I wrote them about it, and after being grilled through several emails to prove I was registered user (I was), and putting up with the shitty attitude of the guy at the other end of the emails, I was finally told it was being _considered_ for version 2.0. That was, I believe, 4 years ago. I don't believe 2.0 has ever been released.
