That's one way of putting it.

You forgot the quotes around "self-proclaimed" as well.  Chris McKinsey 
originally declared me the "self-proclaimed Sound God", a title which I of
course was more than glad to use for it's humor value (Chris now works for
Intel, BTW).

Anyway, I'm officially announcing here that I'm retiring as GS Sound God.  I'm
passing the title on to you, Tom, since you're probably doing more for sound
these days than I have time to.

Good deal.  That game never got the distribution it deserved, and it had
some really neat music.

I suggest you make sure you have permission from the authors (Richard Wifall
and Hal Bouma) first.

All my programs that were released?  That'd be AudioZap, MODZap, MMM, the
GS<>IRC stuff, and a few odd lame intros.  Generally good stuff.

If you have the original archives of these as I posted them, they contain
no such things.  I suggest you retract such statements immediately, or
Joe Kohn will not be the only person who has you in trouble with the law.
