Westwood Linux Petition for C&C II

dr bacardi writes "A link is up on the Linux Games page that is a request for mail-in petitions to get Command & Conquer II: Tiberian Sun ported over to Linux. The reason for mail-ins is to, "ensure that no 'slashdot effects' occur." Thanks to Kevin Scruggs, a Linux geek from Westwood for doing this. " Kevin e-mailed me as well-let's see if we can crash the mail server *grin*

Great, but pleeeeeeeeease be civil

By all means, go and petition them, but when you write your email, keep some things in mind:

- They are being very kind to this community as a whole by taking requests like this at all.
- They do not _have_ to do anything. They are a company, and they sell games. Make a good arguement by telling them that demand is there and this would be in their interests.
- Nobody likes hate mail. If you get hate mail, when was the last time you paid more attention to a letter because it insulted/threatned you?
- Give the message at least one once-over. If it is full of spelling/grammar errors, the reader's respect for the writer will go down. Messages full of errors make us all look bad.

That's about it.
