But what if nobody wants to volunteer to do this ?  I am a fairly
enthusiastic gamer, but i would rather be spending my time playing the
games than maintaining such a list.
And it would still leave us relying on specific individuals.

In addition, we would be relying on a non-usenet service for information.
I would prefer to be able to find all the information i needed for games
here, than to have to use the www also.

I shaved my head about two months ago - go on (it's great with the women!)
