Games programming is a lot more than games theory.  Note that there
are lots of topics that have a game background (such as sprites, fast
scrolling, texture mapping, to name some neverending stories), but
tend to become somewhat hardware-specific if taken to extremes. I'm
not a graphics freak, but I don't mind if these postings have a place
in this newsgroup.  Anyway, they don't belong in ibm.pc.hardware, nor
do they belong in ibm.pc.games, which is about games, not games
programming, and has much more traffic than rec.games.programmer
anyway.

And yes, the fact that there are more PC-related postings would show
that there are more PC-related people interested in this newsgroup,
regardless of their intelligence.
