Yes you are right about that particular occurrence.  However, people should know
that Nightmare has been around for quite a while as an original program by
Buijs.  I personally have known about it, and read about it, for at least 15
years!  That's all.

Still, I agree that the line should have been changed for other FICS people to
see what they were playing.

BTW, I run Ruffian (different versions) on FICS, nick is PopperX.  Perhaps you
might wish to play me -- I am using a P4 @ 3 Ghz currently.
