After fifteen years or more of playing PBM games (as in turns through my
_letter_ box, not my email box) I've decided it's time to hang up my pen
and stop playing. <<

Shame.  But it happens.

>>I'll be unsubscribing from this newsgroup as well, which has become as
boring as the vast majority of the games out there! <<

Dont agree about the games.  But I
do agree about the newsgroup.

>>I would be surprised if I was the only one who thought that PBM was past
it's sell by date.<<

So would I.  I don;t agree with the
sentiment but I acknowledge that
people do get disillusioned with
most things, PBM included.  Of course,
the 'fresh blood' come along and take
their place.  You've just joined
the hordes of people shouting about
the 'end of PBM' for the last 15 years
or so.  Much like the 'end of the world'
people who stand on street corners in
London.  You're disillusioned with PBM,
they with life.

>> I will however continue to look around in the hope of
finding an interesting PBEM game. <<

Good for you.  Have fun!
And best wishes!  The hobby will
be poorer without you.

Hope things look up soon!
