This group's traffic is so low that I have a hard time buying an
argument that potential posts are being crowded out.  I suggest
using killfiles and/or a threaded newsreader to skip topics that
you aren't interested in.

Discussion of games tends to go in waves.  Arena just re-launched
five weeks ago, after a long hiatus.  There was virtually no Arena
traffic prior to November.

I would like to see a digest of the Quest mailing list posted to
rec.games.pbm, as Kerry does with the BSE list.  This lets folks
read a list they might not subscribe to, without flooding the
newsgroup with posts.

Here is a little audit of my rec.games.pbm spool, which has posts
going back about three months (to September 5th).

Total posts:  1262 (approximately 14/day)

Middle Earth:          256  20%
	Arena:                 151  11%
	AG:                    118  9%
	Legends:               110  8%
	Olympia:                45  3%
	Quest:                  36  2%
	Flagship:               33  2%
	BSE:                    33  2%
	Galaxy:                 30  2%
	Atlantis:               28  2%
	Monster Island:         28  2%
	Algorian Empire:        26  2%
	Duelmasters:            19  1%

Other:                 349  28%
