Sigh...just when things were settling down a little.

First, Greg is the one who threatened to flood this ng with an ad from
every game on his list. And don't call him a crackpot...he doesn't like
that.

Second, you just don't get it. IMHO, this is a unique newsgroup. Players
and companies (moderators) interact here in their passion for PBM games.
Everybody wants everybody else to do well and prosper (right?). The
Moderators want to answer the players questions and solve their problems
so they enjoy PBM and play more. The players want the moderators to
prosper so they will continue to offer quality games and create new ones.
Part of this requires that we allow the moderators to tell us about their
games (the "ADS"). These aren't cheezy companies spamming us with
off-topic garbage. These are former and current players who've created
their own PBM games for us to enjoy.

Third, yes I've started a PBM newsletter (The PBM Report) but I've never
spammed this group with it (The PBM Report) or plan to in the future I
will post it.
