I've also got a "real" job - running PBM games.

Well, you have to admit that the posting of a PBM turn is not really
something to interest the vast majority of readers of rec.games.pbm -
anyone playing a game will get their turn when it arrives, so to speak.
And we mail out turns in two or three different games a day, sometimes
more, so it's just as well our players aren't that "excited".

We get players posting messages here recommending our games, which is
all I would expect from anyone! Glad you're enjoying It's A Crime anyway
- I played in game 1 in the UK back in nineteen eightysomethingorother!

It's simply part of my signature, which conforms to the four line
standard, so I see no reason to change it.

If you like Crime games I can recommend Godfather. Unfortunately you're
presumably in the US, and it's not running over there yet.
