You think they would bother??? I have known them for about 3 years and
they don't give a damn to all these. Compile what you think interest
them and they'll give you all they can to get the advertisement

Cyberway have always been very supportive and they have contributed to
me and some of the organisations that I am involved with. Never once
turned down provided you know what you are doing :)
