>To sign up, contact me using one of the following methods:
>
>1) Preferred Method: contact me by sending mail to
>pbmserv@gamerz.net with "message username password bugmenot" in the
>subject line (replacing username and password with yours) and your
>message in the body. In this case you do not have to tell me your
>PBeM username as it is automatically provided to me, plus there are
>no worries about your messages getting caught in my EXTREMELY
>strict spam filter (see more below).
>
>2) contact me via email at bugmenot@mailpanda.com. I have a very
>strict spam filter though I would turn it off if I could, or at
>least set it to send spam to a Spam folder, but I can't do that,
>any email from many domains including many free email domains is
>bounced back to you with a message saying that the spam filter
>didn't like your message; you can ask to get your domain off the

>ask, but it takes time, so it's not preferred. Please do not
>contact me by this method if you dont' have to.
>
>3) contact me via the message systems of the other game sites I
>play at, if you really want to do so. Here is the list of my
>usernames at other games sites, listed in order of most likely to
>reach me the quickest:
>
>-GoldToken.com username is newguy
>-DailyGammon.com username is newguy1 but messages have 80 characters limit
>-BrainKing.com username is bugmenot
>-Pocket-Monkey.com username is newguy
>---Anything below here might take a while to reach me---
>-BugCafe.net username is newguy, I dont' check my messages there often
>-ItsYourTurn.com username is myaccount, but I only get to check my
>account there every few days CONTACTING ME THERE FOR THIS
>TOURNAMENT IS WORSE THAN CONTACTING ME VIA PRIVATE EMAIL AS IT
>CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR BOTH YOU AND ME, NOT JUST YOU
>-Pente.net username is bugmenot, but they have no internal message
>system so you can only tell me if you're already playing a game
>with me using the in-game chat feature.
>
>If you contact me via the PBeM server message system, your username
>is automatically provided to me; any other method, you must provide
>your PBeM server username (but please don't give me your password,
>as some have made the mistake of doing!) And please, remember to
>tell me your signing up for the Othello tourney!
