LOL

If you don't want to know, don't look until you've watched the replay

There must be some really unreasonable people about if they expect to
view/listen to some form of media, whether newsgroup, TV or whatever,
that is likely to have the result of a race on and feel aggrieved when
the result is broadcast.

It's enough to make you want to publish the results just to give them
a lesson in reasonableness.

Spoken like a true arsehole with no sense of irony.

It is quite easy for others on a sleepy Sunday to routinely look in here
having forgotten that the race was live hours earlier. No doubt they would
make a quick exit. I am not inclined to spoil their enjoyment if avoidable.

To be reasonable is to fall in line with accepted protocol.

To be unreasonable and immature is to post spoilers out of spite.

In particular, as soon as I've completed reading one newsgroup
I'm thrown headlong into the (subject line summary of) the next
newsgroup. It's entirely possible that at 10am tomorrow I may
see a whole bunch of rasf1 headers after zooming through the
gibberings of the even more lunatic sci.physics.

That would be a lesson in how to be unreasonable?

However much you might like to force it on everyone else, it isn't
accepted protocol.

It's not a justification, it's an explication. Learn the difference.

No-one in this group can force you not to be an arsehole.

That choice is yours alone.

At best hey can kf you and hope you don't circumvent it.

Are you an adolescent by any chance. Your choice to see a reasonable request
as oppression of your "rights" is somewhat stereotypical of teens with a
chemical imbalance ala Harry Enfield.

Quite. If someone is unwilling to read posts talking about F1 in an F1
newsgroup, it's their problem, not the people who post.

Personal attacks - the last refuge of the intolerant.

Your pathetic ability to comprehend simple things seems to be
the prevailing conclusion from this thread. If you didn't
understand what I said, then I don't feel bad at all, I simply
pity your overworked brainstem which has to make up for the
lack of functionality in the rest of your corteces.

You evidently have nothing useful to say, you may as well join
the killfile now.

*PLONK*

I respect the idea of using <spoiler> in the subject line, but it's also plain
stupid to expect a "blackout" of the results when one turns on their computer
and visits an F1 newsgroup before they've seen the event. When I'm in that
position, I don't do that. I wait until I've seen it.

I've noticed that American fans who last year suffered the tape delayed
broadcasts don't appear in the newsgroup until they've watched the race.

Where I live, and in 1990 before the Internet, F1 broadcasts were delayed until
the following Saturday! Keeping the surprise wasn't easy back then, it would
be impossible now.
