Jeez, can't you even read a message properly? I wrote the first 
paragraph above, but I didn't write the second paragraph. Get a 
newsreader that threads properly and maybe you won't get so confused.
And, No, I am not American, I'm English, and happen to know a little 
bit about English humour myself.....I'm not gonna waste it on a 
wingnut like you though pal.

We are also talking about a *SIMULATION*, not real life here! GPL is 
the best *SIM* to date, but its still *ONLY* a sim. I was pointing out 
that GPL does indeed model accurately real world car physics (within 
the confines of a pc sim anyway?)

Is it? I've driven GPL since its first demo release, and cannot 
remember ever doing this, If I have, it must have only been once or 
twice? I also don't remember anyone else moaning about it? You harp on 
about it like you are doing it every five minutes, sounds to me like 
you need to stop whining and start practicing.

Yep, thats right, you've got no point to make, or are incapable of 
explaining it, so don't waste yours (and everyone elses) time.

This started out with some twat spouting inane drivel, as an attempt 
at trolling, and just kept on trolling......and on......and on.......

Nuff said, large portion, YES, larging it plenty, SORTED. (Got it?)

NB: Americans, please don't ask me to explain the above sentance, its' 
an English thang......(But the plank I'm replying to will/should/ought 
to understand!)
