Ken,

While www.pbem.com does do a good job of covering human-moderated
RPGs by email, it makes no mention (that I can find) of any of
the computer moderated games, such as Galaxy, Singularity, etc.
Since many people do play these games, I think this part of your
FAQ leaves a lot out, and might give someone new to the newsgroup
the impression that such games don't exist. I'm not sure of any
good info sites on these other than Greg Lindahl's
(www.pbm.com/~lindahl/pbm.html), but if you can put aside your
negative feelings for him for long enough to put a link in your
FAQ, I think it would be a good addition.
