No claim was ever made that these functions are unique, I merely listed
some features of the product.  
I asked about posting such a message long before I did and the usenet
guidelines state one new product announcement per product is OK if you
warn people in the subject line.  I am sorry if you did not like it and
were offended, it is the only wrestling game available for the amiga and
perhaps that means nothing to you, but I thought I warned people in the
subject line.  In any case I am very sorry to any who found the message
offensive and will refrain from announcing any future games over the
net (apparently those publishers/manufacturers with "special net" status
are the only ones allowed to post product announcements here).

Sorry again if I offended any of you.
