History of PC gaming?:) Though I wonder if some college professor isn't 
telling people to post somewhere in the rec.* hierarchy (on the grounds 
that there's no rec.sex.fiction.startrek.slash.bondage.furries) and people 
just gravitate towards the first thing in there they've heard of. "rec.arts.*" 
would be a dud, even though it includes TV stuff, because newbies are going to 
see it and say "AHHHH! Rembrant discussion!" and go running. "rec.games.*" 
probably looks good to them. They know Parcheesi, they know Monopoly....

Though if I find out that it's just one professor telling the n3wbz to post in 
r.g.c.d.*, someone's gonna get a BFG shoved where it hurts.

Replace "Doom!" with "Hotmail" to send e-mail.
