AW: [mepbmlist] Colour Maps

I totally agree with you. I must use a normal telephone line and this
triples my costs without any useful addition.

Harley always has to fiddle with this game and inject itself into it. Would
you guys just administer the game and get creative with one of your other
games?

Very harsh of you I feel. The game is old and far from perfect, and is in
need of change in order to keep it up to date and attractive.

I can't fault the colour maps for effort, and it is an improvement which
we're not actually being charged extra for. It is a shame however that it
has not been made optional. From the pdfs I see, it appears to still be
optional to have large format or small double format, so I don't imagine
it's a technical mountain to have optional black and white maps.

It is possible to please all of the people some of the time.

I can only reply if I know who I am chatting to here. :-) If you would be
kind enough to get in touch then I can answer your question.

Much appreciated.

Laurence's initial response is right...

....without needing to go on to the merits or faults of
the maps (which I don't advocate, actually). The issue
here is not the maps, it's how we respond on this
list. We can disagree on specifics without being
broadly snide.

OvathaEasterling's response to Colin, for instance,
was not rude (save perhaps, for attributing Colin's
support solely to his friendship with Harley staff).
He made points about GSI's service versus Harley's and
while I disagree (GSI is why I left ME-PBM seven years
ago and Harley is why I'm back), it's good to have the
chance to share differing opinions.

But blanket derision of all efforts at improvement are
less than helpful.
