As I said before, somebody MIGHT say it has been discussed before, but you

wouldn't get flames, I don't think.  And besides, the answer to this 
question is context specific so that the answer today might differ from 
the answer in the future or in the past.  In fact, I'm sure it does.

I've pretty much stopped playing judge games, and play only with Human GMs

these days, I really have always preferred human GMs (even if I'm the only

one I know who actually adjudicates by hand without a map).  So that's 
probably the #1 issue for me.

You can also do that with Human GM's and E-Mails though you're using less 
coded message syntax.
