You can contact me at skyrender@gmail.com or torquemada_gi@hotmail.com,
though please add HM:BTN in the subject line if you're asking about (or
offering up information and/or corrections to) the guide. Please don't ask
me for basic game help, as that's what this guide is for. I didn't write
it for my health, after all. Wait, I suppose I technically DID write it
for my health, so, er... Well, I wrote it so people would stop asking me
about the stuff that's in this guide. Yeah, that's the ticket...
