I've got a general question for all PBM players.  How do you
afford it?  I used to play just one game, at $7.50 a turn it cost
$15 a month, plus usually another $30 a month on phone bills.
For that price I can buy a brand new computer or board game every
month that will almost certainly give me more play time than the
two PBM turns did, plus I'll have them forever and I can probably
sell them to someone else eventually.  I guess I could afford it, but
it seems I can get a hell of a lot more value for my money elsewhere.

And never mind trying to play 3 or 4 games...that gets close to costing
as much as my car payment!

I've thought on and off about playing again, but the costs involved are
just way too high to really even consider it.
