Email is a nickname for _e_lectronic _mail_.  Email is a kind of mail. Postal
mail is another kind of mail.  Given access to a comuter and internet
capabilities sufficient to read and post on this newsgroup implies access to
email.  Yet some of these games are specifically postal mail.  I was wondering
why.  I've recieved some answers that seem coherent, but this one is merely
pedantic.  Is there a PBeM newsgroup I've missed?  It seems unlikely, and
uncalled for, given the low level of traffic on this group, which appears to be
dedicated to PBM of either sort, but perhaps I am incorrect, and this group is
intended only for postal mail traffic.  This might explain the low traffic
level, given my assumptions above, pure postal mailers would be rare on the
net, making this a contradictory group,

On the other hand, I've recieved as I mentioned some responses which detail
reasons why computer capable people might actually prefer snailmail PBMing,
making this less likely.
