Well, this is the second copy of this auto-post, 36 minutes after the
first. I hope this won't go on all night :-(.
I e-mailed American McGee at id about 10 days ago and suggested that when
he updates the finger info, also post a copy to alt.games.doom.announce.
He has been doing this (there are two posts over there already).
So there is no need to post finger output to this discussion group, as
it is already being posted to a lower volume, more easily followed announce
group (thanks to Tony Lezard again for volunteering to moderate!).
So I hope this gets shut off (nice idea - just no longer needed).
And please, everyone, follow the announce group - don't post finger copies
here anymore. Thanks.
