    Actually, I don't think Allen really bad-moutheded sjgames.com, he just
said he didn't want to pay for information off the internet.  In fact, it
was I who didn't like the website, mostly just because I didn't find
anything that I felt was useful to me, even amongst the free offerings.
    Why are we arguing about this?  You find it useful enough to pay for, I
don't.  That's all. :-)
