It would still be a good idea to submit a listing for Mr Lindahl's list.
FWIW, i rarely find time to hunt through this group for interesting new
games, but i *do* read over Mr Lindahl's list on a regular basis, so if your
game isn't there, i, for one, am likely to miss it.

No comment on the original point of contention, i never saw the post.

Indeed.  That makes it all the more important that we all observe a modicum
of decorum, part of which is refraining from hyping your products.
