I am curious how many different things you engraved with before engraving
with a wand of fire or an enchanted weapon.  It seems there would be little
incentive to engrave if the first time you tried it your sword was dropped
to -3 and no effect from Elbereth was noticeable.  I played without looking
at the source for quite a while, but after I got stoned by a cockatrice whilst
carrying a dead lizard I decided to investigate...(I'm not too patient at
times).

I don't care if people look at the source or avoid it, but I don't kid
myself, a winner is a winner and unless someone wins the game without ever
having talked to anyone or read net.games.hack or net.games.rogue then
the winner deserves no special attention (other than being a winner).
