I am in favor of net.games.take_shoe or whatever the group for discussion
of computer text adventures is being called, because this is a topic which
has been widely talked about for quite a while.  HOWEVER, I THINK
NET.GAMES.BOARD SHOULD NOT BE CREATED
because the discussion seems to be just a passing phase, and mainly devoted to  
discussion of Monopoly.  And the person who suggested that net.games itself
be abolished was wrong: even if that was possible, it would not be a good
move (no pun etc.).

Summation:  Text adventure group yes, Board game group NO.

Please slow down on the creation of new groups.  Time for a moratorium.
They're being created faster than Gene can delete them.  Please, a little
more seriousness about the net.  Yeah, think about its purpose.  Don't
destroy the only free thing in America.
