  1. Glad to hear that you will be staying!
  2. Welcome. Your last question is certainly one of merit. Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit stand out. Reddit is very large and very active, with the option to not only post in the F1 community, but to use the same account to post in other sub-Reddits of interest. Twitter's great component is the ability to "live-tweet" Grands Prix with other viewers, while also being connected to updates from insiders who enhance the race-viewing experience with information not picked up by TV. Sometimes, even "famous" racing personalities will interact directly with you. Facebook's appeal is that you can customize your groups, perhaps tailoring them for less noise, or doing the opposite and making public posts to get shared around to others. There's also the fact many articles now have commenting interfaces, so people can react to the news right there, rather than on a forum. The forum still has a dear place in my heart, though, even if most of my racing-related content now appears in tweets. Welcome back.
  3. Couldn't resist.

      Couldn't resist them Cadbury Cream Eggs? (youtube it Eric, and then you'll understand)

  4. Welcome to GPToday! You're not the only ice hockey fan on the board.
  5. F1's summer break is ending and so is mine. How quickly that goes.

  6. Don't open spam threads. Don't click the links in spam threads. Don't reply to spam threads. They will be removed as soon as they are seen. Thank you.

  7. Welcome to all these new members! Great to see the discussions growing.
  8. This might be the greatest finish to an auto race ever, and it happened just a few minutes ago!

      O for George's sake! They were racing at what? 87.51677754%? What a joke.

  9. Given the way these things seem to go, less than welcome, I think we all need to say thanks for not leaving!
  10. Found time for a 5-mile walk today after an outdoor lunch. So pleasant.

      Walks are always great to think about things and clear your head.

      That's pretty deep. I mostly just thought about when it's safe to cross the street and how cliché it is for all the people who smoke to do so right next to the "Tobacco Free Campus" sign. :P

  11. Sporano's from another part of the Internet that we don't talk about here. I think him joining here was the next-best alternative to posting about me on the "Missed Connections" section of the North Jersey Craigslist. There aren't any other websites where users can create content out there (this is the only one), but if there were, we'd have probably used some of the same ones.
  12. Lost my little buddy to cancer this morning. He loved doing homework and watching game shows (so pretty much everything I do in my free time). Great dog.

      That sucks. Sorry to hear that mate. Stay strong and hopefully we'll get to chat on Friday.

      Sorry to hear that, Eric. It's never easy to lose someone who loved you unconditionally.

  13. Surreal to receive concerned phone calls. A relief to be able to answer them with reports that all is well with the family. I'm sad as a former resident, and sadder as a human being. Close-by or across the world, violence is no abstraction, and its impact is too far-reaching.

      Glad to hear you and yours are OK!

  14. The flowcharts in law textbooks are hilarious. Two full pages, going off in every direction, no way to understand...it's like something I'd write about the ALMS.

  15. Sébastien Loeb will attempt the Pikes Peak hill climb, on top of his WRC, FIA GT, and WTCC ambitions. Tested in F1 and raced Le Mans, too. I like this guy.

      And comprehensively destroyed the Rallycross field at last year's X Games despite it being the first time he'd driven an RX car too...

  16. The new Spotify is extremely disappointing. I wish I had just put my money into iTunes years ago.

  17. The hardest part of teaching? Having to shake so many people's hands.

      That's sexual harassment

      On their part, not mine. They should know better. They're older than I am.

  18. Will have ~90 cm of snow by the time this storm is over. Winds in the 30-35 mph range. Anyone caught driving will be subject to up to one year in prison. Brutal weather...

      I'm sure there's some Family Guy meme I could write here. But I won't, because I'm better than that.

  19. Teaching my first class tomorrow. So excited!

      Best of luck, looking forward to hearing all about it.

  20. Hey there, GP Today.

      What? GP 2 Day....next it will be GP 3 Day...Formula Ford Day...and gods be bad...NASCAR Day

  21. I'm going to spend way too much time playing F1 2012 this winter. So cool it got published for Mac.

  22. I can't wait to get 2012 over with simply because there are no more motor races to be run this year.
