Thread: Read before posting a comment...Too much to ask?

  1. #1

    Wink Read before posting a comment...Too much to ask?

    Seeing some of the hilariously errant comments on many threads I am wondering a simple question.

    Does anyone actually read the original message, previous message, or do you post based solely so you can include one of the following items:

    Tony George, DOOM, HATE, CART, CCWS, CHAMP CAR, NASCAR, Barnhart, Owners, Road Courses Suck, Street Courses Suck, Ovals Sucks, ad infinitum.

    JFK had a great comment that I will paraphrase, "Ask NOT what your series can do for you, Ask what YOU can do for your series"...

    Or at least maybe read before you comment...asking too much?

    JFK was a mediocre President....discuss

    See you forgot the ever present spectre of a thread hijack
    But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

    For some? Yes, it's asking entirely too much.

    I had a brownie for dessert tonight.

    All I need now is a monkey, a chainsaw and a gallon of Crisco.

    Why were there ads for tickets to this year's Indy 500 on today's NBC SportsNetwork's broadcast of the June 2nd Firestone Indy Lights race from Bell Isle?

    Folks, eventually I forsee one of two things happening here.

    1. This thread dies a quick death

    2. This thread becomes epic and matches the Tenderloin thread....


    Suprised no one has called me out on Kennedy, I must be right

    I have been around racing for since the 60's, got behind the scenes in the 80's. But I was around TF (HERE) basically since it started. I made a conscious decision to stop reading things when the HATE was endless, and finding the awesome folks that ARE Track Forum became harder and harder.

    Made a decision to ATTEMPT to infuse some positivism after watching things go off of a cliff in the media concerning Indy Car recently.

    Thanks for your post.

    Look for an uptick in sales of used DeLoreans.

    It is really difficult to follow your "don't worry be happy" prescription, when it is followed by a repugnant signature.

    Good point. I will change it back to where it was.

    I changed it back to what is was. Sorry about the sig being repulsive to anyone.

    I've always found the war to be a strange topic, especially since both sides were eager to finish what they started only a few years before. One can argue for both sides on who really started the war, but in the end American independence was solidified with not only the Treaty of Ghent but with the victory in New Orleans. Hope that answers your question.

    I can read, but it was the whole "comprehension" part that alluded me.

    The difference between genius and stupidity? Genius has limits.
