I think you got the wrong "read" on the email though I'm glad
I finally got the chance to appologize for that miscommunication.

First of all, _I_ configure my firewall so I take full responsibility
for not allowing "BIFF" packets in ... I think that today, users are
even less willing to have their email address "authenticated" by an
external web server then they were back then. Secondly, (God forbid)
I don't consider 'cross-genre' a ghetto!

But the reason that I think you got the wrong read is that
PhoenYx is one of only a very few sites in the "Games on the
web" pages that doesn't fit the "charter" for those pages
and I _ still _ put it in there. From the pages:

-> If your web pages show what your players are doing, who their
-> characters are, where they are, has maps, turns and stories,
-> (or at least some of that kind of stuff) then we want tell
-> everybody about it!

My filter criteria for those pages (which aren't the "announcement"
pages) is that I can click and read _ web pages _ about an game,
world, or characters in an actual game. I think Phoenyx is an
important site and offers an alternate way of following games
so I wanted to make sure it was in there somewhere. I'm sorry
that you didn't like the placement ... please give me a couple
of days, I will try to make amends.
