Actually, there are some people who play VGAP by snail-mail
(mailing a floppy disk to the host each turn). Don't ask me why, but
they do.

>play by mail games are on a strategic level which makes VGAP look like a
nintendo game, and these guys are starting to get REALLY pissed that a

Not true. By the time you own 1/11 of the Echo Cluster and 1/11
of the ships you have a game just as strategic as Pacific War, those
most strategic computer game available.

I agree. We have some real jerks in our community. I have found
that the best way to deal withem is ignore them or E-mail them
directly.

rec.games.pbm claiming that VGAP is the king of PBM games has his head so
far up his butt, he can probably lick his appendix.
