That's not an argument - it's an assertion. To make it an argument you need
to give clear reasons: try the magic word 'because'. I'm an arts person,
not a scientist, but a scientist should be able to understand this?

Ah, to get worth-while material you'd need to approach people on an
individual level. For instance, anyone who submits a useful comment could
be asked for comments on other games. It needs work, and takes time;
you'd also need to take a few precautions against abuse.

Greg, you'd get on better if you cultivated a more generous and warm-
hearted attitude. For instance, Steve wasn't attacking you.
   Look, here's a simple exercise. Check out the review praised here on
11th April by Niels Lademark, which we published in issue 87 and which
Niels says is available at:
    http://www.pbem.dk/wotdg/top.html
Then tell us all what's wrong with it. Niels message was well-reasoned and
it wasn't a plant.
