Over Forrest Gump, I'd have to agree. But I'd have given it to Pulp Fiction.


2. Jim Ryun in the 1,500 meter race of the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.

Why? He was the second fastest guy there, and got exactly the medal he should
have.


1. Smarty Jones in the 2004 Belmont Stakes.

Same comment as above.

Yep, I agree.

Um....well....I was only 4 at the time and really didn't have an
opinion.


1. Smarty Jones in the 2004 Belmont Stakes.

Sorry, Smarty got hammered fair and square. The extra distance has
been the doom of many a horse and Smarty was just the most recent.
Had the race been at the shorter distance of either the Kentucky Derby
or the Preakness, Smarty wins. The race is longer and the other horse
was just better today.

Please don't post off-topic messages, stupid. No, it's not alright to
"just do it sometimes".

And YOU please don't resort to name calling.
What does netiquette say about "flaming?"

By the way, some of the more prominent and respected participants in this
newsgroup post OT material from time to time. . .people like Rod Mollise,
Brian Tung, Jon Isaacs, and John Steinberg to name only a few. Is there any
particular reason they have escaped your verbal abuse?

Want to have some real fun? Go to any thread where a war is raging about
Macs or Windows. You'll find lots of OT posters to insult.

Don't download messages with OT in the subject. Filter them if you wish.

But don't presume to know what is or is not OK in Usenet. Your message,
for example, was not.
