Well, let's see.  In your first post you:

- Offered to post a binary, thus breaking Usenet etiquette
- Offered to break copyright laws
- Wrote a subject title in ALL CAPS which is very annoying
- Generally acted like you were trolling

And in this one you:

- Acted like a child.
- Flamed a regular (oooOOOoooh!)

Actually, I was positively delighted that you loved UFO as well.  Really.

A store.  One of the places where you buy things legally as opposed to

Cut the language.  Cut the flaming.  All you are achieving is looking like a
pre-pubescent twit.  Besides, you did not state that you planned to post it
elsewhere, so wise up.
Damnit, we need our FAQ back.  Any takers?

All you have to do is get off your lazy arse and search around a bit.  The
game is not only dirt cheap but readily available - it's been rereleased on
