    As I (a425couple) see it, there was a followup posted to my post,
    that was, , , maybe, shall we say mistyped?? And certainly confusing.
    My (a425couple) post and prediction, is & was:

    a425 predicts

    pole Lando Norris

    P1 Lando Norris
    P2 Oscar Piastri
    P3 Max Verstappen

    I would suggest that pP85PrR (darryl johnson) resend his prediction.

    Interesting.
    If I can count correctly, we have 24 participants, an increase
    from last year.

    So, it appears we have a newsgroup that is increasing in
    participation in this time of dying newsgroups.
    Way to go Mark! Great job of finding an interest and
    an attraction.
