I look forward to it (and there's no problem with putting two linked ads on the same Terascreen).

Beg and badger Ahruman until he acquiesces.
As you yourself should have noticed by now, that’s not an entirely effective strategy. ;-)

True, but I still bow to your immense wit and magnanimity.

I've been looking for a fitting company and slogan for an ad featuring ET for a while now, so I hope that it's ok that I went ahead and used your idea
Unfortunately your Bender ad didn't resize very well to the required 256x128 format.
Please re-release if possible
It may be as long as until 200 ads are in, before those latest ads (Space Rickshaw and forward) are released in the OXP = thirty-something to go!

I take my hat off to your creative genius Dr Nil.
Every time I launch from a space station I have to stop and check out the ads on the navigation beacon. It cheers me up no end as I set off on a journey.

Well, i've got a title. A vexing one, as it is.... I don't just
tote the sword, I
wield it.
As for "nut-job", even if it's conceptually true, the wording is kind of debasing...

How's the pay? Does the PTA bitch too much when the lecturers cut students?
I, of course, don't mean simply reducing their grades, or even expelling them; I mean "cutting" as in severing too sharp tongues with an even sharper sword, ot the said tongues' owners having an acute case of bissection...
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.
