I stumbled on the mailing list after I started taking a serious look at
Stargrunt II. I forget where I got the link (probably stargrunt.ca?) but
decided to give it a shot.

In the brief time I've been here, I have been overwhelmed with awesome.

It definitely is a hidden gem, as Andrae puts it.

I don't know who's maintaining the GZG website, but there should
definitely
be a link and registration instructions added to this page:

http://www.groundzerogames.co.uk/index.php?option=com_weblinks&Itemid=23

I think this should be done ASAP.
