Mr. Hart,

I assume you read the FAQ before posting this, and will now be
sending $1,999 to Robert A. Hayden, as is required of all advertisers?
The relevant portion is included below.

Mailing List Advertising Policy

The Shadowrun mailing lists accept commercial advertising for
payment. We offer a fee waiver if you can show us the cancelled check
for a $1000 (U.S.) or more donation to the Electronic Frontier
Foundation. One donation per advertisement, please. If you don't wish
to donate, simply post your advertisement to the list, and the
operator of the mailing lists will bill $1999 (U.S). The list
operator will donate this amount, minus the expense of collecting it,
to EFF. Please note that the lists are distributed automatically -
messages are generally not read or checked in any way before they are
distributed.

By the act of posting your advertisement you agree to accept
responsibility for the fee, you agree to indemnify the mailing-list
operator against any legal claims from you or others in connection
with your advertisement, and you agree to pay any legal and business
expenses incurred in collecting late payment. Our liability to you is
limited to a good-faith effort to deliver your message.

Reduced rates and/or waiver of fee are available for Shadowrun-
related and selected other topics of advertisements. You must consult
the mailing-list operator in advance of posting for any reduction or
fee waiver.

Truth be told, I've been somewhat lax in sending out the FAQ to
new subscribers in the past few weeks, so I'm inclined to let is pass this
one time. However, I'm not the listowner -- he gets to make the final
decision. I'd suggest being quite extremely nice to him, and maybe simply
disppearing from the net for a few years if you can't afford the fee.

These messages were posted a long time ago on a mailing list far, far away. The copyright to their contents probably lies with the original authors of the individual messages, but since they were published in an electronic forum that anyone could subscribe to, and the logs were available to subscribers and most likely non-subscribers as well, it's felt that re-publishing them here is a kind of public service.
