You didn't actually read any of what I said, did you? Let me re-iterate. Firstly, I have been a PBM moderator and designer for almost eleven years. Over the last few I have started sending e-mail reports and replies to players if they have the capacity to receive them, but I have never run a Play-By-Electronic-Mail game, ever. The title of the message I replied to read "Play games by e-mail?" - NOT "Play By E-Mail games?". The title would suggest, therefore, that a PBM (not PBeM) that could be played by e-mail would be of as much interest as a PBeM! As I stated in my previous reply to you, I find it hard to understand anyone who would find any pleasure in subscribing to a Newsgroup if you have absolutely no intention of reading any of it's content. I find it all the more disconcerting that you should write replies to messages that you haven't read thoroughly either. Logical debate and discussion works a lot better where the participants take the time to consider the points being put forward. I hope that you take the time to read the whole of this reply rather than replying first, reading later. Kindest regards, Paul "I find your lack of faith disturbing..." Referenced By Up
