Ummm... Excuse me?!?  What list?!?  Yes, I run a PBeM Server.  It is
remarkedly popular.  And until recently I advertised it monthly here.
However the recent threads on avertisement, etc. have prompted me to
rethink that policy to a quarterly policy unless I an announcing a
new offering.

If joe user does a search on PBeM games, I'm bound to show up.  I run
one (40+ actually).  I'm not advertising interest in *other peoples*
game servers.  When I have spare time, I read this group, or visit
Greg Lindahl's pages.

To equate advertising one's own server with interest in other servers
is not quite a valid argument...

Regards,

Richard
