I did NOT mean to say this. Mr Who?

I apologize.

National slights aside, the tracks are gone. There's also a "Click here" to mail to several addresses, apparently in support of restoring the stolen converted tracks to the site. I would assume that the site owner got some e-mail himself...8^)... Good to see Mr. Noonan's work on behalf of GPL racers being restored to his ownership. If a NASCAR 4 converter turns up, I'll take one of those, too. J. P.

Can anyone use those tracks that were posted or do you still need a copy of ICR2? -- Nos

> I thought he was saying the French are ignorant :) I don't think all French are ignorant. But I think it was EXTREMELY RUDE of those French guys to publish those tracks like that. I apologize to all the French people who have nothing to do with the French GPL site... .. but I was shocked to find that French guys are doing such stuff

You may call me stupid, but I don't see what's wrong with publishing those tracks. Those nice French guys even mentioned the sites where they found the data. In my opinion, it much worse to ask money for programs that manipulate commercial software without the approval of the publishers of that software. Everything should be freeware that should be distributed free (something like the track database at zap.to/gp2). If mr. Noonan wants to make money, he should write his own racing sim from scratch. Anyway, I'm happy that I was just in time to find those tracks united instead of searching the Net for hours.

I had a terrible time in France as a student many years ago. I had a summer job as a truckers mate, delivering conservatory kits to French customers. Everywhere we stopped these arrogant nasty people insisted that we sit down and sink a bottle of house red with them. If they were particularly bad, they insisted on plying us with bread rolls and brie at the same time. One guy even had the audacity to stick a bottle of scotch in my hand and introduce me to his daughter (who was coming to live in England as a language student) at one stop. The worst part of it was that as the non driver, I had to assume full responsibility for consuming this liquid after the second drop of the day. Terrible experience, terrible people!!!

I've been over here for over 20 years now and always look forward to local hospitality on the odd occasion that I am able to get home. The Brits are decent enought people. There is good and bad everywhere after all. I guess the reserve is a legacy from colonial times when the oppressed did not dare complain and the priveleged had to be seen to make an example with the stiff upper lip.

hmm, the quoting semmed a bit messed up, so maybe it wasn't even m.seery who was quoted saying something like "was arrogantly threatened to accept a bottle of wine". I found that quite ironic. In the end I might have been wrong too :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

I can't tolerate your stupid behaviour. You just act like the racists people: One guy and one experience means for them that all the others are the same. It's not because everybody know that a large part of americans are fat that i will say: "So, all the americans are fat." No, the americans are not all fat. If you have a bad experience, it doesn't mean that all the French are like your guys. Just think about it. A lot of people around the world love France and every summer, a tons of tourists go in France, one of the most visited country in the world. It's not randomly. P.S: i have a terrible experience in a travel in England a few years ago. The family who receive me was very avaricious and stupid. The food was ugly. And, me and my friends had to fight against some stupid english gang who rip off one of our inoffensive girl. BTW, i liked to kick the ass of this asshole, it was fun !!!!!!! But, not like you, i will not say: "English people can't beat anyone, just because we kick their ass". It was just a few people. m.seery <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : HINc5.3987$[email hidden]...

Mark , I've just spent the last 10-15mins reading all the unread posts in this thread laughing my head off. To think that the two of us were actually complimenting the French and that stupid Drongo lowlife got it so wrong is amazing . If a person's English is not very good then it's understandable if they missed the irony/humour of your post but that sewer dweller was way off the mark . What a fabulous thread . We do have a laugh on this NG . BTW I like your line in self defence Mark . You must have a tongue like a serpent :-) Notice the smiley everyone . I wasn't really insulting him .
