Anyway, as I see that your link is already on the Open Directory Project, I'll clean up the external links, and link to dmoz instead. :) Dreaded Walrus t c 19:39, 9 November 2007 (UTC) Reply īy not having a link to these websites, a user who comes here cannot get a complete understanding of what exactly Dope Wars is.
