[net.games.rogue] Physical addiction

Okay guys, enough. I can understand it when someone says "Rogue wanted".
But when people issue boldface headers ROGUE NEEDED, I say "foo".

Rogue, though a drug, is psychologically but not physically addictive. No
one NEEDS rogue in the same sense that they NEED air. You won't die without
the latest version of the game. I don't think there are any junkies out there
with magic-arrow tracks on their arms. Don't make it sound like you are going
to get the shakes, cold sweats, and dry heaves unless you get your fix. Stop
making it sound like there is a monkey on your back.

Besides, every one knows an "M" is a mimic, not a monkey.
