I wouldn't be. I'd be doing cartwheels and grinning like a loon.

Congrats!

Marvelous. Congrats. Advertising genius, certainly. What might IF
become with sufficiently creative advertising?

At the moment, I don't think IF authors feel much hope that IF can make
money, but your success might turn this. Do you suppose the time is
right for a renewed commercial interest in IF?

On the other hand, I think many IF'ers rather enjoy the (perceived)
commercial hopelessness of IF. Some might even think it a godsend, the
evils of cash and all -- and I'm sure you've heard it all. Myself, I
pay my sincere compliments.

The Prophet Lady Chatterly known to the wise as poster@catcher.in.the.rye, opened the Book of Words, and read unto the people:

Pre-emptively trying to prevent cross-posting idiocy: this poster is
coming from alt.usenet.kooks. I can't imagine that newsgroup has
anything constructive to offer this thread, so please reduce
crossposts before replying.

Search for 1893 on news.google.com, and you can bypass the
registration BS.

All three of them are nuts. What are the chances of that?

Congratulations, Peter!

I'd be interested in hearing if traffic on your website changes this week : )

All we need now is to get them to plug the IF Archive as well.

Er, never mind. Apparently, I'm blind.

One more proof that i did the right thing when i purchased my original copy
from your site

Thanks for making such a lovely game, and good luck with future projects.

Keep in mind that now the IFCommunity has it's eyes set on you
