Is there any interest in splitting net.games.rogue into a group for experienced roguers and one for novices? It gets kind of irritating for hackers to keep reading about THE MAGIC ARROW BUG!! or THE NEGATIVE GOLD BUG!! or HOW TO LET MONSTERS FIND SCARE MONSTER SCROLLS!! or ARE SOME WEAPONS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN OTHERS?? . Maybe net.games.rogue.exp and net.games.rogue.novice?

Since net.games.rogue is already more than 14 characters long, there is no possible way (in this implementation of news) to further divide it into subgroups. Newsgroups are uniquely identified by their first 14 characters, since directory names cannot be any longer.

What is the negative gold bug, anyways?
