Maybe I'm just getting old, but IMHO even the subdivision of PBM into
PBM and PBeM is in some way a bit forced and unnecessary.  I've never
been able to see much difference between the two in the actual
interaction of the player with the games themselves that weren't in some
way superficial.

PBM by any other name... and all that ;-)
