I, for one, agree.  After reading net.games from the beginning of all those
saved on the system, about half of them deal with infocom adventures. Those
not interested in them must junk through the articles.

My sentiments exactly. The only reason I even look at this newsgroup is
to pick up clues for infocom games (currently working on HHGTTG).

Why does anyone want a separate news group anyway? 

Sure, half the traffic is about infocom games, but the total volume
of traffic is very low anyway.  If you take away the infocom stuff, why
bother with net.games?

Volume of mail devoted to a separate topic should be the ONLY consideration
for creating a new news group.

Leave things alone when they are working.
