So you're sitting back waiting for someone else to start a discussion on
PBM, then criticising when nobody does.  If you're that bothered about this
newsgroup, why don't you try starting a few threads yourself.  Preferably
ones that don't end up in a cat fight between you and Greg.

Did you ever think that maybe the constant influx of messages from your
website and Greg's list hastened the demise of the newsgroup?  Is there
really a need for every game to be announced here?  Might it be better for
you, and Greg, to have a link in your .sig file leading to your respective
endeavours?  So people can read them if they choose to, rather than being
bombarded with them daily.

In all honesty, I don't see the point in arguing over the FAQ of this
newsgroup.  And it seems that if neither of you can agree on how to maintain
it, then perhaps someone else should take over running it.
