Also, the fact that it's titled 'Belgium Grand Prix' rather than 'Belgian Grand Prix' says more about the person who started it than anyone else ever could.....

No, the possessive isnt required. Both are correct. The 'the' article is assumed. So, really the Belguim Grand Prix is more correct as the Belgian Grand Prix means a grand prix of belgians |

John, I would just like to point out that in you using other people's names to post stupid comments on this petition it out of order. It makes it look like Dazzerjp and myself are trolling when it is nothing to do with either of us. You certainly wouldn't appreciate it if it was done to you. |

Yes you are quite correct... the whole world knows just who you are and will now think less of you... Do you really really believe that Hamilton (368) or Massa (13434 & 15358) or Stefano Domenicali (13670) have all signed the petition... it says they have so I guess they must have... |

Still you really shouldn't use members information on other sites. Just isn't right. |

If you're referring to Bernie, he's not wrong. He's probably suggesting that it's IN Belgium rather than belonging to them in which case it WOULD be the Belgian GP. No doubt Bernie thinks he owns it. |

Well, firstly it's wrong because you've got the spelling wrong..... ![]() Secondly, 'Belgian Grand Prix' refers to the fact that the race is 'owned' by the people from Belgium, collective of which is Belgians. Thirdly, if you want to refer to the country in name rather than by ownership, the title should be 'Grand Prix of Belgium'. English is, though, a rather silly language when it comes to stuff like this..... |

The bandage was wound around the wound. The farm was used to produce produce. The dump was so full that it had to refuse taking more refuse. We must polish the Polish furniture. He could lead if he would get the lead out. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. I did not object to the object. The insurance was invalid for the invalid. |

John, that isn't the point. Making a statement in another person's name without their consent is blatantly wrong. I certainly wouldn't do it. You don't know who might see what you have written. |

I agree. All members have a duty to respect the identities of members outside the board. The point about on-line petitions has been made. |
