Scott, you are not being ignored but you aren't guaranteed a response, 
either.  If someone has a comment to make they will.

I personally have no comment to make about playing a game via email.  I've 
never particpated in or run anything like that.  Try it and let us know how 
it goes -- maybe you can give us all some pointers on how to do it and what 
to avoid.

If you need more help, then ask specific questions.  I don't speak for 
everyone on the listserv, but I don't generally spend my time sitting around 
thinking up things for everyone else's game.  I just don't have the time or 
the energy.  I'm not trying to flame you, I just think you have unreasonably 
high expectations of what you expect to get out of this list.  I'm here 
because I like the game and like talking about it, and I think that goes for 
most of the others out there as well.

As far as your time travel question I thought it was addressed pretty 
thoughly, but if you really want an answer from Pinnacle repost the question 
and reword it if neccessary to be specific to the information you are trying 
to get.  Put "[HOPLER]" in the subject line to alert John that his input is 
being sought.  And don't expect an immediate response -- the month before 
Origins is *the* busiest time of the year for a game company and Pinnacle 
lost some people a few months ago, so I imagine they're stretched pretty thin.

And everyone, PLEASE, when you're responding to the digest be careful of how 
much of the file you're including with your message.
