They show needs to go away. Only that will save it.
What is it with many people in sports and in TV/film industry that they do not realize it is time to go away?

You do know you don't have to watch it.

So you don't watch TV yet still want the show to stop being made.
That makes sense.
AAnything else that has no impact on your life you want rid of?

Yes. It was silly of the BBC to try and revive it at all. Like many successful shows, it just happened to hit on the right combination of presenters and had a few golden years as a result. The original show with Quentin Wilson(?) as Swiss Toni was excruciating, it was the chemistry of Clarkson, May and Hammond that got non-petrolheads like myself watching it. Take that away and all you have is just another (very expensive) car show.

I was starting to despair, but then:
What I have tried:
Typing random things and hitting enter.

Speaking of honesty...Other prominent member asked a question (somehow unclear), but after the first comment moved straight to the goal: "plaese send me the original code"

Been there. The unix command-line does indeed often look like random things, even when you've been on it for years, let alone when you're a beginner. Such honesty deserves a reply.
