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.

I think perhaps it *should* just stun, and here's why:

It's too dangerous as-is, rendering door bashing something that nobody
does. The mechanics needs toning down. Also, it should respond more
readily to STR in the 18+ range I'd think.
