Right... a more likely dichotomy would be rec.games.pbm.sports,
rec.games.pbm.space, et cetera ad infinitum.

It's still plenty quiet enough to sort on subject lines, however.
(And an appropriate standardization thereof wouldn't hurt in the
FAQ(s)... you'd be amazed at the number of permutations of MEPBM
I have in my score file, and I *still* see them once in awhile.)
