       Mika sends Michael a message.

       Thought this worth putting here. Our man Mika Hakkinen sent a
       message to the Schumacher family. It reads in part:
       --- Quote ---
       > "Your accident is now just another challenge," Hakkinen wrote
       in an email to Schumacher and his family which was published by
       Bild am Sonntag. "You have to fight hard again, just like we
       both used to do on the track."
       >
       > Hakkinen himself was in a coma following an accident in
       qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix in 1995, and said he
       survived "with the help of my family and the professional
       support of the doctors. I am sure you are getting the same kind
       of help.
       >
       > Do me a favour: just this once don't try to beat the clock.
       You don't have to post your best time in this race. You have to
       take all the time you need. Take it easy, Mika".

       Saw that on F1Live. Thought it was cool.
       Did you see where Lewis caught all kinds of shit for posting
       some of his vacation pics? He went on a ski trip and posted a
       few pics on his fan site and everybody lost it and jumped his
       ass. Fucking low rent morons.

       Yea, I saw that over at the Mercedes forum. De_Jokke posted a
       link to it and had said that people need to get a life. He's
       completely right.
       That's why a lot of folks don't share anything with the public
       anymore. Some asshole is always going to warp it into something
       bad. If Harrison Ford showed some pictures of himself and family
       vacationing in Saudi Arabia, the only thing you'd hear about is
       how he's a jerk and bastard for going there what with the slave
       labor practices that they're pulling over there.
       Like Harry has control over that. Like it's his problem. Yea.
       Sure. Right.
       People just want to trash people so that they can feel better
       about their own failed and miserable lives. That's really all
       there is to it.

       Any of you guys read that shit where some doctors are saying he
       may never wake up?

       I saw that but I'm not putting any stock in it. I think it's
       more bullshit conjecture to sell a few papers.

       Why do you think its shit? Unfortunately, its quite unlikely he
       will ever be fully cognisant, more likely he will only ever be
       semi aware at best.

       Simple: The press likes drama. It sells. It wouldn't matter if
       the doctors came out and said, "He's actually playing tennis
       right now and will be available for comment later" they'd still
       drum up some drama.
       Michael suffered a very serious injury. They're doing the right
       thing and taking their time to insure that he has a full
       recovery.
       You see, doctors don't give a shit if you want Michael waving
       from the balcony today. Doctors are concerned with Michael
       waving from the balcony 20 years from now.
       It's going to be a long road for him...but he'll be fine.

       It was actually me that said it's shit and it is. Parmy is just
       backing me up.
       First off, the people in that article admitted they were
       speculating. Not only that but most of the so called speculators
       wouldn't go on record with their actual name.
       If Dr. Thomas of Johns Hopkins university gives an opinion, it's
       worth something. If "a leading doctor from the European union
       who shall remain nameless" gives an opinion, it's usually
       because it's either not a doctor at all, or he's being paid to
       come up with some bullshit the newspaper can sell. They said the
       same things about Robert Kubica at first: that he had lost his
       arm, that he may die, that it's an epic tragedy.
       They sold a shitload of papers doing that. So what really
       happened? His arm was badly hurt. He got over it. He races rally
       now.
       Get the point?

       I watched an interview with a leading neurosurgeon who said that
       given that Schumacher had two operations showed there was
       massive trauma, [as confirmed by his own team], and given the
       length of time he's been in a coma he was unlikely to ever be
       fully awake.  At best he would be only semi conscious and
       extremely unlikely to ever perform basic functions like feeding
       himself or talking.
       Now, if either you or Parminio know better than a leading
       Neurosurgeon in this regard, then  I will bow to your greater
       knowledge.
