Such tongue in cheek comments are likely to be taken seriously in the current environment in some quarters following a recent flare up over whether the postal gaming hobby should get organised. This is an amateur hobby. Some people within it get suspicious when individuals talk of forming committees to promote the hobby, fearing this may be an attempt to dictate to others how this hobby should be conducted. It's a fair enough viewpoint, I suppose. On the other hand, it's always been a hobby where people volunteer to do things.
People volunteer to run conventions.
Others volunteer to arbitrate when a zine folds and relocate games and subscribers to other zines, hopefully ensuring no one loses any money. Some people, bereft of a duvet to stuff for entertainment of an evening, keep stats and calculate ratings systems to work out who the best Fart Tennis player is. Some bozos edit listings magazines like this one. The real crazies organise games conventions and spend the whole week-end dealing with problems and complaints whilst looking on at 200 or so of their friends having a fantastic time playing games and drinking beer. So a bunch of people talking about doing more to promote the hobby should not be a cause for alarm.
