Joke 'update' post about the West brothers

frederickson posted a fake 'update at West Racing' headline as a joke, catching several readers. Replies mocked the long-delayed Racing Legends project and its stale insider news for donors, while Douglas Ellison insisted the project was fine.

Yeah, you mean the videocard technology that renders pictures of racetracks with cars on it, without having the game engine to really "exist". -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://ymenard.cjb.net/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

I want to know now what each "side" is going to do for the other when one of them is proven wrong. The hyperbole is so high, it better be real good payback :) Marc "Doug Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:HaYVa.53350$[email hidden]...

Well drop them an email, raise them on ICQ or phone them and ask them how it's going. Only a complete idiot would donate without being 100% confident in the project. Doug

I was 100% confident until recently, hence my constantly badgering you about everytime you're on VROC - I was looking to see if you heard any news, not questioning it's future existence. If you have info saying it's being worked on, that's good enough for me. I just wish they'd drop a note on the website saying 'hey we're still here' or something since suddenly not updating the monthly updates or the donation news isn't sending a great message. Doesn't bother me that much, but I could see them alienating a lot of people by disappearing for so long. Looking forward to seeing what they have when they re-emerge, tho. Jason
