Gamerz.net hosted a service to play abstract board games via email. It ran for over 30 years, and was recently shuttered by its operator. In a correspondence confirming the service’s closure, its operator said, “I hope I helped you reduce your productivity just a little bit.”

I suspect they meant it flippantly, but the more I think about it, the more I find that to be an extremely lovely sentiment. I hope I help you reduce your productivity just a little bit.
