Have you tried uploading and uuecoding the game files? If a game file can be sent back and forth by email it would be great. If there is enough interest maybe we could keep track of how games are going (although given my experience with live sessions a pbm game could take two years even if each player moved every other day). So...count me as an opponent!

Most of them are subjective, but one which is not subjective is the fact that it gradually steals memory from the system, and doesn't return it.
