[net.games.rogue] "I was wondering if this were a bug or a feature ..."

rcj (01/16/83)

As all software people know, there ARE no bugs; only features.  If you
write a program, for instance, to handle accounts receivable for a small
company and the program contains a flakey that will give the wrong
balances every so often, that is a feature to keep the people working
in accounting on their toes.  Similarly, if you write an AI program
that goes wild and starts submitting hundreds of articles to the net,
that is merely a feature to keep the net interesting and inflammatory--
it is NOT a bug.

Chauvanistic about software and damned proud of it,
