What I find sad is what Greg said in MSG 11 "I don't want my site
to do better".  This seems to be a common PBEM phrase.  People like
Greg injoyes flaming others for trying to better the industry, but is
unwilling to even put out a minimum of effort.

I'm not normally a flamer, but I get sick of reading or skipping
these types of posts.  If you think you (Greg) can do better by all
means try.  I would love to see a new PBM service.
