Hello everyone,

I received this in an email message from the "moderator" of this
newsgroup (which was also sent to the service provider I use).

>I object to the posting of unsolicited commercial advertisements to
>rec.games.pbm.  My site must pay to receive, store, and distribute your
>message.
>The biz.* newsgroup hierarchy is the appropriate place for commercial
>postings.  (Ads may be inappropriate in some biz.* newsgroups, so

This is in response to me announcing a FREE playtest of an email game.
I think I mentioned this playtest once a couple of months ago, there's
been a delay in the programming, so I've mentioned it again for anyone
who might be interested. IT WAS NOT A COMMERCIAL ADVERTISMENT!!!
Commercial advertisments do NOT offer things for free!!

What I want to know is, what the bloody hell is the point of a
rec.games.pbm newsgroup if we're not allowed to mention the games we
run? How the **** are we supposed to get new products playtested if we
can't invite people to playtest them? I've posted two messages about
this playtest, if any reader thinks this is excessive then I give up in
despair!
