Well, Larry....no as a matter of fact, YOU did. If you take the time to
look at the progression of the thread, it's plain for all to see that
"Byron Forbes" and I traded numerous posts with some of the content
relating to GTR and his "problems" with it.

Example: "Byron Forbes Jul 15, 1:19 pm

On my GTR box it is clearly marked - "Distributed by Electronic Arts".
It's all the same arseholes......."

You replied with:

"Larry Jul 15, 4:48 pm

I think it's forgotten that Each version of NRx, once patched, had NO
SHOWSTOPPERS.

You can't say that about any of the EA Games.

-Larry"

Now, I type out a reply to "Byron Forbes". (Bear in mind that in my
hatred of all things Microsoft, I don't use OE to read usenet posts, I
use Google Groups. It's a little slow, but since I only read R.A.S.,
it's not a big deal). My reply:

"Darus Jul 15, 5:26 pm

I'm not sure where the hate mail for GTR came from, as this WAS a
NSR/NR2003 thread, but I have no problem with GTR. What's
yours?........"

I then check for for new messages and see that your message about
"SHOWSTOPPERS" and have no idea what you are talking about. I replied
with my succinct post of "HUH?".

As the thread moves along, I understand that you are referring to a
"showstopper" as a <negative> aspect of either NSR or NRxxxx. I take
that term to mean the opposite. Simple misunderstanding.

Mssr. Forbes and I then traded 3 three more posts and then state that
you never referred to GTR in your post. "I" never said that you did.

Hopefully you can see that it was not I that erred by replying to the
wrong post. Your post ended up in the middle of an exchange with Forbes
and I and you ASSUMED that my reply "I'm not sure where the hate mail
for GTR came from..." was intended for you. It was not.
