OT: MORENO!!

Roberto Moreno just won the CART race at Michigan... Beautiful, to see how winning a race can do to a man. You'd think he just won an AI race at Monaco in GPL! L.S.

Roberto Moreno has never won a race at Michigan He did win a race at Cleveland though......

Thanks alot Luis...Our TV coverage isn't scheduled to begin for another 2 hours....good job....ever hear of the word spoiler????

Good thing I saw the race live or I'd have been really choked about the lack of a "spoiler" tag in the header of this post. Just a suggestion for any future posts in which you wish to disclose the end of a race. Robin

The results are no bound to appear at rec.autos.SIMULATORS, I of course doesn't visit r.a.s.INDY or r.a.s.CART if I don't want to see the results. But to expect me not to visit rec.autos.simulators just because I might get to see discussion of a off-topic race there is to expect too much. -- Arne Martin

If you had spent those two hours watching sports news channels on TV, that probably would have spoiled the race for you as well. You wouldn't do that, obviously, because chances are good you'd see the results. So why wouldn't you treat newsgroups (the operative word being "news") the same way. When race coverage is delayed for me, the TV and radio stay off, and I wouldn't dream of reading ras until the race was over. I mean, why would you? Doug Dave Henrie wrote:

Because unlike the local and national news...I expect my fellow RASians to be kindly and intelligent and not at all rude or belligerent and certainly not the kind to ruin a race ending by posting the results. However, since the perp...er the fellow newgroupie has posted his aplogy, I will in the magnamimous spirit that is RAS accept his profuse regret and merely chastise him just once so that he mayeth learneth the erroreth ofeth hiseth wayseth. dave henrie "Doug Schneider" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I don't know about the rest of the r.a.s'ers.. but I for one agree with Doug.. I see no reason why Luis should apologise at all. This is a forum where racing and such are frequently discussed, so if a topic arises that contains information about the latest race - one should not be suprised at all. If you didn't want to hear the results, then why seek a place/forum where the results are *bound* to be posted sooner or later? Rudeness or intelligence got nothing to to with it at all... - hmm, well perhaps the latter do.... but in a reverse kinda way... visiting *news*groups, when you really dont wanna hear the *news* is... errrrr.... not very intelligent - is it?

You're telling me that I should avoid rec.autos.SIMULATORS for 3-4 days just because the race result will get posted? I disagree. Eurosport no longer airs CART live, so I have to wait for the tape delayed version on Wednesday or Thursday. That's the reason I DON'T go to rec.autos.sport.INDY ... >Rudeness or intelligence got nothing to to with it at all... - hmm, well >perhaps the latter do.... but in a reverse kinda way... visiting >*news*groups, when you really dont wanna hear the *news* is... errrrr.... >not very intelligent - is it?

hehe, "racing" discussions on r.a.s.i. or r.a.s.c. (or r.a.s.f1.) that's toooo funny! trust me, there are *far* more intelligent racing cart/irl/f1 discussion here than there are on any of those groups. -- Randy "If you have a home that is mobile and 12 cars that aren't, you might be a redneck." > > -- > Arne Martin

Sometimes in South Africa they show the GP's from the American continent with a couple hours delay as they usually run during prime time TV. A few years ago I was waiting for the Brazillian GP to come on and on the news (same channel) directly before the start of the broadcast, they gave the result. Since that day I have always kept myself away from the TV and the Internet in those few dangerous hours between the event and it's coverage. I have even been known to pay a little attention to my girlfriend! Only joking, I spend the time playing GPL!
