Write your reply.

assistant: Even though I haven't played X-wing (or Tie Fighter) for a while, I think
that the A-wing is a versatile starfighter in the game (I prefer it!).
Meaning, that for me, it has better control. I made higher training course
scores in that starfighter than any of the other ones. Flying it through
space at high speed gives it more control to kick the top aces rears in the
dog fight training mission. An X-wing is also good, but a bit hard for me
to maneuver. And the B-wing, I find sorta difficult to control, but it's
only in that "Operation: Shantipole" training mission, is when it gives me
problems.

Hello newsgroup readers:
        I would like to appologize for posting a message
to your newsgroup that is off the topic.  I have a deal
that I think every web page owner would like to share in
and this was the best way I felt, I could reach a large
number of you.
        I am tired of the search engine jerk around.  I
am talking about the 4 to 6 weeks before we post your
site.  The outdated links.  The 15 repeats of the same
link that appear before your listing.  These are the
things that get an amatuer web page designer upset.
        What I would like to propose is a link exchange.
I dont care what your site is, as long as it is working
(and not child porn or crap like that) I would like to
list it.  All I ask for is the same.  Post my site on
your page
        If you would post my site under the group:
Fantasy Football
and my site as Helios Fantasy Football - $10,000 challenge
my url is http://www.netcom.com/~helios1/fantasy.html
I will gladly list your site as you would like it listed.
Please email me, so you can give me your site and group,
and let me know you have added mine.
                                thank you for your time,
                                Helios Fantasy Sports

would be welcome also
