Did I say "every moniker" sucks? No. I said "episodic strategy gaming" sucks, because, well, it does, really bad. PBM may not be completely dead, but it's so close to being dead that it may as well be. It's not coming back, either. The sooner various stalwarts realize that, the sooner progress (of whatever kind) will happen.
And yes, to describe games in this day and age as "play by mail" does suck. You may as well call them puppy killers.
