Summary: 


Contrary to Roy's feelings, I happen to enjoy the posting of Diplomacy
game results.  I find them valuable in examining the way that people play 
the game and the strategies that they employ.  The Monopoly games I don't 
really care for, since Monopoly is, basically, not a great game of strategy 
(although I'm not claiming that there is no strategy; it's just that I don't
think that I could learn much that would improve my game from following the
PBM monopoly games that are going on).  I feel that, if the posting of 
game results does not facilitate learning about the strategy, then Roy has a 
point.  I feel that other types of postings are justified (such as the 
Diplomacy postings, which spawned discussions of strategy and commentaries 
about the games) and should be encouraged, so that our newsgroup doesn't die
out.
