You have my blessing.  I appreciate any effort to keep the game alive, 
especially when I'm too busy with other things to devote much time to it 
myself. 

On your site, I noticed a rant about people breaking the rules.  I want 
you to know that I'm talking to a group of developers about doing a new 
Trade Wars, and while we want to keep the game very true to its roots, 
priority one is to resolve all of these imbalances and cheats.  So when 
that time comes, I'm hoping to rely on people like you to help guide us 
in resolving all of the issues that have come out over the years, and 
return Trade Wars to its former state of playability.  I have my ideas 
about how to solve these problems, but it's going to take playtesting by 
veteran players to assure that it's done right and thoroughly.
