As an avid crawl player, I must answer:

Moria, ADOM, Alphaman, MAngband, TOME, DoomRL, CastlevaniaRL,
MetroidRL, Rogue, Slave to Armok: God of Blood, Kharne, too many more
to properly list.
7. My brother was really into crawl way before I was. Then I finally
broke down and started playing. Been addicted ever since.
8. I started playing about four years ago, but had resisted playing
for a long time before that.
9. I can usually get some pretty good equipment before I die with my
MiBe. <3 berserk.

This is my fault and I apologise. Users more familiar with this new web
2.5 technology would have set up a webpage or used a proper Reply-To or
whatever.

I hope you will enjoy the statistics.

No thanks. Next time before you assume I'm clueless, read messages
carefully and don't let yourself be confused by dpeg. It doesn't
matter that my repply had garbled @mail (thanks to google news). All I
wanted to show is that *the original* post contained an adress to send
mails to.

Get a newsreader? The article as written had a proper email address in.

Can you recommend a good newsreader? Preferably one that has a spam
filter. Reading rec.games.roguelike.development using Google Groups is
frustrating.

Well I've I had many a 'proper' newsreader over the years and what do
I prefer?
This 'useless' web interface! Why?
The convenience is very much worth the MINOR* issues it has. So stop
being such a jerk with your personal crusade... people don't mind you
having an opinion but they do get annoyed with your broken record
ranting. I expect that many of your issues had more merit in the past,
and now they are much less so, I'd advise you to look into all of them
again (with a fresh mindset) to see if they are not so much of an
issue now.
Not that considering your repeatedly repeated repetition that you
could possibly change your mind (it is yours to do so with as you
like), but I would hope you would get a little less dogmatic about
what Must Be & what Must Not Be.

*such as having to enter a captcha to get the full email (as a quite
sensible precaution, more so that it is so easy for bots to access
this web interface. Not that they can't just get the same way you do,
but most don't.). I admit this is one of the more minor ones, but
still it is what you are rudely (to the others here) making an issue
about.

That might have been more obvious if you'd followed up to a misdirected
reply and not mangled the email address. As you would not have done if you
were using a newsreader not a useless Web interface.
