PBEM is great precisely because it's slow, you can take the 2 hours you need to finish your moves when it's turn 89 of a 17 player game.

There's time for diplomacy, planning strategies, etc.
Right, but it is just too slow for me, and I guess many other players are only up for TCP/IP games. When you can play 2-4 6 or 8 player TCP/IP games / week, there is no point in PBEM gaming. Not to mention TCP/IP blitz games.

That's why you join more than one PBEM at the same time. Though it can be dangerous when you suddenly don't have the time to do orders properly for all your daily turns.
