<<As I have said repeatedly, there are many places you can advertise,
such as PBeM web pages and PBM magazines. Although all of their
subscribers don't have email, their marketing surveys show that a huge
majority of them do, although they are less likely than that to actually
play games using email.>>

It seems you're validating the point that a normal PBM magazine is not the
best place for PBeM advertising. Perhaps some location where only PBM
players with email can congregate....hmmm.

<<You can lead a horse to water, but you can make them drink.>>

I assume you meant "can't make them drink", and that the horses are
players and the water refers to pbm games. We could tell the thirsty
horses that there's assorted kinds of water available at many different
places if they care to travel there and drink alone. BUT if they like the
company of other horses and want a variety of water at their fingertips
(hooftips?) then maybe they should go the local watering hole
(rec.games.pbm). They don't have to drink, maybe they just comment on the
different types of water they like or learn about the new flavors
available.
