If you're 'advertising the other games', if you're interested in broadening
the exposure of these games, why do you refuse to give TightBEAM, PBMGAMES,
and PBMNET reciprocal links on your web site? Unlike your web site, where
moderators must fill in your form to get a listing, the other web sites list
'every known play-by-mail game and company' (something you don't do, despite
claims to the contrary).

I believe PBMGAMES and PBMNET give a link to your site. I finally got around
to removing the link I had to your old site, and I will happily give you a
new link when I put up the 'player web site' section. If you don't return the
favor, fine, I can't live without it.

As for poor Steve Walker, who can't seem to get a break around here: we've
suffered through umpteen 'design analysis' posts on Olympia 2, a revision of
a commercial game. Are Walker's posts so much worse? If you didn't play
Olympia 2, would you have welcomed the design analysis? What if Steve Walker
puts up a list of proposed changes to Summit Soccer League?

There's simply no way to control the traffic on this newsgroup without
getting entangled in hypocrisy.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: nobody, not Steve Walker, not Greg
Lindahl, not Bob McLain, calls the shots here. I don't really have any
problem with Greg bringing his brand of order to the newsgroup. If people
accept it, then he's done us a service. What's really sad is the people who
say 'Lindahl, begone!' and then continue to act as if Lindahl really does
have control over their actions here. Walker, Shulkind, others, do what you
want! But please don't continue the endless 'he's persecuting me!' debate.
