Sorry, can't recall which thread you're refering to.

However, you know that those methods have been used on usenet, probably
since it began, and why they're there. How many times have arguments
started over a comment that was taken the wrong way when it was stated
in jest?

Just a throwaway remark, IMO.

I wish I could answer that. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the GTR
series. My times taken up with sim racing these days is far reduced,
compared to in years gone by, but I still enjoy reading up on the what's
hot and what's not, even if I don't have the opportunity to try for
myself. Take Iracing. What I've read here, has certainly generated an
urge for me to try it out at some stage.

Realism is paramount. Agreed. But that should come from the
driving/racing experience, mostly. I'm not sure how that can be
construed as tedious, though. From a personal perspective, I get a
whole lot more satisfaction playing those driving/racing games that make
me feel that I'm having to 'make an effort', similar to if I was in a
real world vehicle. When I play games where whatever you do doesn't
provide that, or mistakes don't have consequences, then I soon lose
interest. Hey, if I had the money, do think I would be playing sims?
Hell no! I'd be doing the real thing.

It just makes the game accessible, doesn't diminish what the game
represents.

I steamed it. Haven't been bothered to unpack my wheel so I did a few
laps by keyboard. I'm looking forward to the point where I get off my
lazy arse and unpack my wheel. :P

Cheers,
Rod.

I didn't moan. I'm quite happy...

BTW.... Nice manners.

there are elitists in the game The SIMS as well, doesn't mean it is even
slightly realistic...

I knew you would "get it" and as sure as I post, I knew he wouldn't.

So Larry, are you gonna test that GTR with a keyboard and write us a review?

Everything else aside, there Brain Dead. I mean John Doe...

if you want to know then ask... use some manners, but you are being a
****wit jumping into a thread that you obviously didn't Get, wasn't
necessarily beggin for your (you specifically) response, and you jump in
with that ****ing attitude like you are so smart. So tell me brainiac, what
the **** did you expect when you posted like that? careful now, we're
waiting to see how you use your head now.

Some chest thumping bully wannabe trolls claim to have been around
USENET a long time, but haven't learned how to post in context...

Is the operative word "able" or can you actually point to a USENET
post of yours from 1987?
