Somewhere along the way, I lost the notice that I had
sent to the initial set of players (either by email
or in rec.games.pbm) that asked for them to:

1) follow up on previous 'Broad Axe Tavern' or 'Re: Broad Axe Tavern'
postings (using the 'f' command, and/or reply to the author w/ 'r') so
that efficient news reading programs like 'vnews' could unsubscribe to
the discussion (by typing 'ud'), and not even have to type individual
'n' repeatedly.

2) post using the Subject: Broad Axe Tavern

------------------
note: some people have things called kill files
that either kill by subject-string, subject-substring, or author
I don't know how to do this yet, because I've never considered
it necessary, since I use the 'a', 'n', '^D', '^B', and 'ud'
commands (type '?' for explanations) and can wade through
even the most noisy of news groups without working up a sweat or
ulcer.

also I use this in my .newsrc file:
options -A
rec.games.pbm:

have fun
