Too true, he plugs it more than than any games I've seen out there.

I have a question, how many people have searched through Greg's PBMLIST
more than once?  I certainly haven't and would much prefer to read the
occasional advert posted by the moderator if it was to the point and
especially if it was about a new game or a play test.  If it was just
added to the PBMLIST file I would most certainly miss it and possibly
miss out on a great game.

If I posted a question to the list about a certain type of game then I
would definately want replies from moderators of such games and would be
rather miffed by someone say "read the FAQ" as Greg in his oh so polite
way usually does.

Just my pennies worth to the discussion.

Gary.
