rec.games.roguelike.angband looking glass

As of March 31 2008, my ISP's USENET feed provider ceased to exist (buyout by another company). Since that date, I no longer have any access to the USENET. Therefore, I am forced to discontinue r.g.r.a frontend on Angband.oook.cz website.

Which is really ironic given that you want resistable spells with high
dam/mana ratios, and unresistable spells with lower dam/mana ratios -
just from a design point of view.
