<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I have to say, changing the calendars simply because some

The calendar has a few gaps at the beginning yes, but
if you follow F1...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I haven't missed any point, I simply called you on contradicting yourself and
your no gnat claim.
My “no gnat claim”? Uhm, are you having problems reading or just confused, because I don’t recall claiming anything about “gnats” (if so quote me); but you certainly did. Oh, and so what did I say that was “contradicting” to you?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>And while I also feel that having a steady calendar with a race every other weekend would be bliss, we don't. At least not in March and April 2008. But do I whine about it?
Perhaps you are not aware that you joined a forum whose members are predominantly obsessed with MotoGP. And as such,
we talk about everything concerning MotoGP. This thread, started by a Brit coincidently, pointed out the space between MotoGP races (especially at the beginning) to discuss. And such we have; yet your interjection was to say no need to discuss about changes because
Yanks have a poor attention span. There seems to be a bit of a disconnect here, don’t you think? (Rhetorical: Sometimes there is a need for an attention span and the required elementary comprehension that would be required to make such an
analysis, no need to try and answer this question).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Or come up with arguments along the lines of "I
can't remember what happened three weeks ago?"
The issue was NOT that people won’t remember, but that
“interest” will not be sustained for the casual fan (perhaps subtleties in words and their meanings are lost with you, but no worries, I would be happy to send you a dictionary). We are not the "only" country with short-term memory people, as you have proved.
As a fan of ‘MotoGP’, I’m not as interested in the
list of other sports you suggest I should be watching to make the time go by, after-all, we are talking
MotoGP here (or did you miss that). So your list of 'other things' to watch is
IRRELEVANT to the thread topic. (So what if there was an F1 race
every-single-day between MotoGP races, what the hell does that have to do with MotoGP?) But of course, you felt it was relevant (again, you missed the sarcasm in me offering ‘another list’ of things to grab our attention that would magically make the time between MotoGP races appear shorter).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>No, and that is because we will also have MotoGP 4 out of 5! Weekends in June and back to backs in July and October.
This is NOT news. Us MotoGP fans are aware of this. But at the start of the season there are major gaps; 3 events in 8 weeks (2 months: two 3-week cycles with a 2-week one sandwiched in between). To me, it’s a
rather exasperating way to start a racing season (for those of us MotoGP fans who have been waiting in anticipation). We get one event, then wait almost a month for another, after which we wait 2 weeks, then again almost a month for the third. This is what was being discussed; that is, until you decided to make a rather
irrelevant and inaccurate statement about “yanks” and other .... that ‘could’ interest us (yet still this would not effect the MotoGP calendar now would it).
I realize you are new to this forum. And so welcome, please hang around. We always need more members to bounce ideas and opinions off of in our discussions, even when its just ........ we are talking about.
