>The amount of so-called reputable professional companies that fold and leave
players out of pocket and disappointed is a perfect example of the
instability of an industry built on what most people perceive as a hobby run
by hobbyists (real word?)<<

Players dont need to be out of pocket at all.  In Europe there is a scheme
whereby various companies (us included) will credit your lost fees to a new
account with us if a bad company goes down.  However, potential players have
only themselves to blame.  Would you book a holiday with some company who's
office was in a garden shed?  Play with established reputable companies and
you'll normally be fine, just like any other business.

>>It amazes me the amount of snobbishness going on in this group, as if GMs of
free PBMs are 'not as good' as their money-making counterparts.<<

Nobody said any such thing.,  Thats
your paranoia.  Touchy subject for
you, is it Roy?   I have no idea how
good a GM you are, since I've never played
your game.  There's nothign Snobbish about *most* people here.  Like Carol
said, as long as the game are fun to play... huh?

>> Anyone else
think that this stems from people panicking that their market is dwindling
as players and potential players realise there are far better options?<<

Yawn.  Oh dear.  Hold on... I need to rush off and stop my market dwindling...
please... you guys... come back!!!!
Don't all rush off and play Roys game!!!!
Wait.. wait!!!!  Oh god.  They've all gone!
Roy... you didn't kill Kenny did you?
