Frank,
      Copied from Arena, as far as I know this was added today under News
Ticker.

"My problem is, that I have no letter for our new partner program Ruffian.
But I hope you have fun on the new Arena Partner Logos!"

What is the meaning of this paragraph?, that you don't have permission to put
Ruffian with Arena 0.90 next week? or?

Sarah.
