Except, that creating another newsgroup is NOT the point.  The point is,
to do a few minor changes to the FAQ here that allow *Reasonable* and
*Appropriate* periodical ads on this newsgroup.  Why should a new
newsgroup be created when a clear majority of the Posters here wish to see
this very thing implemented?
  I have spent a lot of time reading up on the subject, and the best
solutions.  No one on this thread wants to see the group taken over by
advertising.  In fact, while the Players that are posting here say they
want to see monthly ads, the moderators are suggesting 1 month, 3 month, 6
month, or even yearly ads.  I myself have only suggested yearly or twice
yearly.  I doubt that there would be enough traffic on an ads group for
PBM to make it worth subscribing to.  Every single Moderator in this
thread realises that flooding this newsgroup with repetive ads is going to
result in a loss of players, be the game free or commercial.
  *None* of us want that.
  What we do want, moderators and players alike, it more information flow.
 Information, not hype or tons of ads.  This is NOT about posting a
monthly ad for a game, or about flooding this newsgroup, and anyone
attempting to say otherwise is setting up a strawman argument.
  Frankly, telling a majority to go start their own newsgroup is
questionable at best.
