Hmm...  PBM ain't exactly like the motor industry.

I always make a point of telling my players about the rest of PBM.  This is
partly because I'm a fluffy sort of guy and a complete soft touch (maybe why
I'm still one of the little guys after nearly 10 years), but largely because
of what I figure to be enlightened self interest...

Anyone who would be drawn out of one of my games by someone else's is likely
to drop out sooner or later anyway, and I figure my games are pretty good
and can stand up to comparison with other games (and if they don't, it's a
damn good spur to improve my portfolio of games).  The last thing I want is
people playing my games because they don't know any better.  If my games
aren't their sort of thing, then I'd much rather they move on to other games
and stay within the PBM hobby than simply drop out.  The more people in the
hobby as a whole, the better for everyone.   I will also plug other people's
games in my newsletter, etc.  I know that some of the larger firms also do
this, even though they might deny it!
