Actually, two brief comments to that:
1. The demographics are interesting. A lot more mature (age wise) 
gamers on this list and I think that play these GZG games than I 
might have suspected. Says a lot about the games' satisfaction 
factor. It's also nice to know I don't have to give up gaming at 30.
2. I hadn't thought about it, but I second the self congratulation 
here - this list is amazing. I've signed onto other listservs, and 
wanted to bail within a day due to the low signal-noise ratio - lots 
of noise, not much intelligence. Even the 'nostalgia' discussions 
here provide a fascinating insight into the history of our gaming 
industry, and the minis that go with them. And its nice to see the 
people who write the games monitoring and kibitzing in the 
discussions - they have a perspective that is valuable and their 
rules knowledge and understanding is a real asset to the list. You 
have to like smaller companies! Long live GZG!
