A couple of you were kind enough to write back in response to my
earlier request to talk to arcade game fans. Well, goof that I am, I
accidentally deleted your responses. Could you please write me again?
Thanks!


Here's the original posting...

I'm working on an article about arcade games, and their persistent
popularity. I want to talk to people who play them at arcades, bowling
alleys, etc., and to people who restore and collect them. What is it
about these old games that you love? I'd like to share your answers
with my readers.

I want the piece to include your name, age, occupation and the
community where you live.

This is for real. Check out some of my other work by clicking on the
Web link below.

Interested? Please contact me ASAP. Thanks.

I might, if either of the email addresses you posted worked.

Quite funny that the tech editor has a misconfigured SMTP relay on one
server, and an overfull database on another.
