[net.games.pbm] About net.games.pbm

G:wing (08/04/82)

This is the inaugural message for a new newsgroup, net.games.pbm.  It is being
broadcast to all of the net.games groups as an introduction to this news group.
Just yesterday, I saw something that would be something for this group, an
announcement for a pbm game.
	And here's what this group is all about:

	net.games.pbm is created for discussions on games run by ANY mailing
system.  Announcements would be available here if posted about games people are
willing to run games on the net.  Perhaps even some of the net.games.emp stuff,
about a mysterious (at least in Berkeley) PBM game.  Anything at all dealing
with games played on some mail system can be posted here.  PBM Updates, copied
and edited from The Space Gamer without permission at this time, will appear
here.  News items of a similar nature should be posted with something in
parenthesis indicating what game the posting is about.  net.games.pbm does have
its own fire control, so that flames about PBM stuff can be posted here.  May
this newsgroup Live Long And Prosper.

Note:  Addresses of PBM companies mention in PBM Updates will be made available
soon to net.games.pbm readers (like tomorrow).  These address AND telephone
number (at least of some of the companies) will be seen only on net.games.pbm.
