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.

As far as I know, there wasn't really a groundswell of support, just
one or two bods suggesting it, not a particularly large number of The
General Angbanding Public having an opinion one way or the other.

Mind you, I'd be in favour.
