I've never understood the overprotecting of emu-authors. I can totally understand that no one wants tens/hundreds of email like "make Banjo-Tooie work you biatch!" but here on the forums can asking really hurt someone that bad? Hell they don't have to read this if they don't want to. You would think that it'd be nice to know that ppl care about their doings.
And besides i think that Riven formed the question really nicely, no demanding just pure curiosity.
