Ok, I'll bite...

I rate the following on 1 - 10, with 1 being STRONGLY DISAGREE with this
posting in this newsgroup to 10 being STRONGLY AGREE with this posting
in this newsgroup:

- list maintainers posting updates to their lists.....5
 - commercial sites advertising........................7
 - GMs posting new games starting......................10
 - requests for playtesters............................10+

I look at this usenet group as a source of information.  All of the
above is information that is relavent to this hobby.   I don't much care
for repeated commercial advertisements, but what has SO FAR been posted
here has not struck me as offisive or intrusive.

In fact, anybody starting up a game of Galaxy?  I'm a total newbie at
this one and would be interested in learning. (Galaxy is a game I'd
never have heard of except for this group).
