I like mine 'cause....umm, I made em??	;-)

No, seriously, the only rules I've used have been mine (mostly) and Tom
McCarthy's (recently). I think that my base rules are pretty much done
and fine, but there are some things i want to tweak. Tom's Shadow rules
are very very similar to what I had in mind on expanding my Shadow rules
(which are currently unfinished in my B5 var rules set).

I like Tom's rules, I like mine. I can't talk about the others since I
haven't had any experience with them (yet?).

As for which is most popular...ummm, I think that you may be unknowingly
asking a slanted question, since Tom's rules set just recently came to
fruition, Mark S' rules were just recently created, and mine have been
around for over a year and a half or so (and have seen fairly extensive
PBeM gaming from the group here in the past year or so). Before Tom's
and Mark S' variants, there weren't a lot of other ones out there being
used that I am aware of. Aside from mine, and that was only because I
was running games (RL and PBeM) using them.

Hope that helps and didn't confuse/cloud the issue much.
