Could be, but ...

A while back I had a game in which I found a large number of items but
got small increases in maximum hit points.  I formed the hypothesis that
the second depended on the first and rapidly convinced myself that past
experience supported this hypothesis conclusively.  So I started keeping
more careful records and found no correlation.

Most of the speculation and much of the fact about rogue reported in
this news group is (in my humble opinion) fantasy.  I guess rogue
brings out the least professional in us.  (not surprising: it is a game)
Sometimes I wonder why I waste my time playing rogue.  I guess I must
hate myself ...  oh well, time to start another game ... I bet I will
have more luck this time ...
