How is one supposed to get all the facts? In a newsgroup people can only go on the facts presented in the message, i.e. someone was driving a car toward a sharp bend at 122mph. With all your 'qualifications' you should have the sense to drive your vehicle within its limitations, whether on a public road or on a race track.
