I don't usually join in this sort of thing, but I couldn't let this
pass:

Phil gets told off for wanting to post to the newsgroup, thus:

Perhaps he didn't use it because, by its organiser's admission, it's not
being kept up-to-date?

Anyway, although I'm not keen on advertising, folks offering playtests
can 'advertise' them to me as much as they want! I've thoroughly enjoyed
being involved in playtesting 'Mind the Gap', and other games.

The advertising that's _really_ beginning to bother me is this 'use
PBM-list or else' stuff coming from its promoter.

Good internet digests and other resources stand up on their own. This
petty behaviour serves only to demean, not to promote.
