From rec.games.roguelike.nethack:
Some fundamentalists continue to cite the Holy Buglist as concrete evidence of the eventual Return of NetHack and the subsequent Rapture of RGRN, while others question the very historicity of the so-called "DevTeam" itself. Most rational people fall somewhere in-between.Personally, I do think NetHack seems too complex to have come into existence without a "DevTeam," but if it does in fact exist I'm not convinced it bothers to interact with the universe it created. I remain agnostic on the issue.
