Here here. Well said. I find it sad that people like Greg Lindahl
seem so negative in his trolling and yet publishes an FAQ which
is informative and useful. Although the PBEM mag seem to be
totaly moribund (last mentioned article is more than three years
old- makes you wonder why the mag is still mentioned).

The games list is a useful service and one for which Greg should be
thanked- the presence of PBEM-Portal by no means diminishes
what Greg has done. PBEM-Portal does look a bit biased towards
the amateur PBEM, (as does the PBEM website)- a litle bit more
categorisation would help PBEM-Portal but hey its better than nowt.
They aren't very quick at answering email though!
