   You had to go to Firing Squad to find news about the Freelancer Demo
to post at the Wing Commander newsgroup? :( The CIC reported about this
days ago.

Yes.  I do not read your website that you are promoting.  Is it a mandatory
requirement for posting in this group?

   Only if you wish to remain current with WC news.. as I would assume
many people who post in the Wing Commander newsgroup are. :)

   Of course.. this weekend there was a very nice interview with the
developers of Prophecy Advance at N-Phile, and HCl also released his
high-resolution patch for Prophecy.  Over the last week there were a
couple of less notable articles at Prophecy, but at relatively high
profile sites, a speed-limiter patch for Privateer 2, and, as many WC
fans are interested in, the Freelancer demo came out.  There's more WC
news than news for some game series that have a game coming out soon
(though in fairness, we technically do too). :)
