There shouldn't be a group for Diablo. GAMES.RPG IS the proper group for Diablo
posting, not the alt.games.diablo group. Why you ask? Because all ALT Usenet
groups are forever, that stupid Diablo group is going to on the Internet for
the rest of eternity cluttering up news servers well after every copy of
Diablo is sitting in closets and junkyards around the country. Alt groups
get low traffic and propagation for just this reason, idiots creating groups
for short fads just because they know how, without thinking of the long term
consequences. A growing number of sysadmins don't even want to deal with the
Alt groups because of this kind of short-sighted stupidity. This group
was created for RPG games, live with it. Create a killfile for Diablo and
SHUT THE HELL UP THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU!
