On his original post, he advertised his game on USENET, a public access, non
profit computer network.(This was about a year ago)  He set up a PBM company,
and was thus referring to himself.

If you want to start a PBM company, take out an advertisement in a PBM
magazine, not use the computer account provided by the University of NM
to do such(or whatever other computer account you may have to USENET)

There are currently many games going on, which are free, as enjoyable or
more so than PBM games, and the players are groups of friends(or become
such).  I, as an example, have run a PBEmail game for about a year, no cost
to any players and have played in about 7 or 8 others...

In short, next time, please don't assume that the post is totally unjustified.
