As has already been pointed out, I could easily list dozens of URLs
(some from memory) that contain nearly every bit of information you
could possibly have on any of these games.  Besides, if your grammar is
really as bad as it appears in your posts, I wouldn't want to try to
decipher an entire book full of it...  ;)

As for the =A35 bit, have you ever seen one of the following?

They're _everywhere_.  By posting in the way you did, you made yourself
look just as bad as them.  Here on the Internet, it's not your race,
appearance, sex, age, or country of origin that matters; it's the way in
which you convey your thoughts to others.  It is rarely appropriate to
crosspost to multiple newsgroups, and advertising is perhaps the least
appropriate thing of all.  We do not _want_ advertising on the Usenet;
otherwise it will just turn into a corporate bulletin board.

To use a more practical example, what would you do if you got a letter
in the mail that said exactly what you wrote in your post?  I myself
would throw it away...

At the very least, set up a web page to run your business and advertise
it on the Net.  It would be even better if you could become involved in
a constructive discussion or two; after all, with all the knowledge you
must have you should be the perfect person to give hints to people who
ask.  Then, and only then, you should mention the URL of your service in
your signature, or say, "by the way, I have such and such that you might
be interested in."  This is considered perfectly legitimate by most
people.

There.  I've said my peace, and given my limit of advice for the day. =

;)  If anyone wants to reply to this thread please do it via email
unless there's some overriding reason not to.  Thanks.
