You may no longer be but you most certainly were before you were shamed into
changing your story.

It is a threat, it's spam. Its also a wholly fallacious argument - I benefit
from seeing the PBM adverts that show up here, i would not benefit from the
400 bits of junk you want to spam us with, they're not very informative and
damn boring to read.

What is this obession with leveling the playing field, the world isn't like
that, why do you need to make yourself 'important' by thrusting all this
stuff at us? You weren't going to post it.. but if Bill or somebody else
starts putting PBM information up here you're going to? So if a GM in your
list happens to have free net access but is too lazy to promote his game
(c'mon there must be 1 in that 400) he gets spammed in our faces as a weapon
in you war?

Out of interest - do you carry these ideals beyond the PBM sphere? Are you a
communist? Do you send all your spare money to africa to level the playing
field in econmic terms?

If it's all in my head how come nobody 'flames' Karen who runs a useful
information service along similar lines to yours? How come every flame-war
here features you? How come you can turn over any stone and there's Greg?
How'd you piss all these people off? I'll tell you - because it isn't all in
my head, it's in yours. You're a pedant and a bully. Ideally you should work
behind a counter in the post office.

Nobody cares Greg - shut up.
