On the topic, Nightfall (my earlier-mentioned 'hobby' game) welcomes lurkers,
as do many of the IF / RPG-by-email games listed at the Irony Games web site
(http://www.pbem.com).  I'd imagine at least some of the games at Phoenyx do
to - Karen (if it's not too late)?

Indeed.  I have respect for Greg's work in maintaing the PBM list and generally
making people aware of the (non-commercial) alternatives in any debate, but
it's getting harder when he just won't stop baiting Mark.  Mark, you could
do with letting it lie too - you *know* he's not going to listen...
