Yes.  Feel free to post your stuff here.

Although the previous answer was "Yes", I will go ahead and list a few sites
for you to browse just to see what's out there.

First, the OFFICIAL Spelljammer website as recognized by Wizards of the
Coast/TSR: http://www.darkwood.cx/rpg/compendium/

. . . and its companion, non-official site: http://www.darkwood.cx/rpg/btm/

Some other sites of interest:

The Arcane Space Division:
http://www.users.uswest.net/~malacoda/TarkasBrainLabIV.html
The Realmspace site (with material supplied by Paul Westermeyer):
http://www1.tpgi.com.au/users/ibowley/spelljam/index.html
Ahzad Jinsai's Spelljammer Page: http://www.geocities.com/ahzad/
and Welcome to Hyrkulspace (my own site):
http://www.geocities.com/starspeed_a/

Other sites can be found through the Spelljammer WebRing (which just
integrated with Yahoo!).  Most (if not all) of the sites listed above are
members of the WebRing.

One possibility is through online gaming stores.  One such recommendation
from me is The Hit Pointe (http://www.hitpointe.com).

Another possibility is through online auctions, such as ebay
(http://www.ebay.com) or Amazon.com (http://auctions.amazon.com).

>4) Is anybody interested into a PBEM? (please mail me, not the mailing
>list)

I am currently running a PBeM campaign called The Celestials.  Sorry, but I
wish to devote my time to that one for the time being.

See the answer to Question 1.

The sign is fine.  I've seen a LOT bigger and worse in appearance.

BTW, welcome to the list!
