Writing as list owner:

  I've just updated the list welcome message to enclude a short piece on
attributions and their requirement on the list:

Your subscription to the MUD Design Mailing List has been successfully

at coder at null.net.

To UNSUBSCRIBE send a message to <listadmin at null.net> with a message body
of "unsubscribe mud-dev".  If you subscribed from a different email

The MUD Design list is not platform, language or game specific, but
concentrates on discussing the design and implementation of any and all
MUD servers and systems.  Another large related topic is game design. This
does not mean that the details of a specific server or game design point
can't be discussed in excruciating detail, or even that server or game
source can't be bandied about and picked over, just that the list isn't to
become a religious stomping ground for your platform, language, server, or
hobby horse of choice.

The goal is high signal, low noise.  The MUD Design list is NOT an email
version of the rec.games.mud.* newsgroups.

Membership is by invitation only.  Any existant member may invite anyone
they feel would actively participate in and benefit the list. New members
are entrusted to participate in the list for a while, getting a feel for
the list, its members, and the discussions and behaviour that go on there,
before inviting others to join.  Please raise any doubts or questions
regarding potential new members either on the list, or with the list owner
at coder at ibm.net.

Please don't publicise the list on newsgroups or other mailing lists.

All quoted text in postings to the list is required to be attributed. A
typical attribution might be:

Longer and shorter attributions are possible.  Many mailers produce such
text automatically when quoting a message.  Some mailers produce such
attributions with "...you said:".  These in particular are not  acceptable
as an attribution must identify the author.  For situations  where correct
attributions are not automatically available, manual  attributions are
acceptable.  Often these can be as simple as:

follows:

  Subject:

  subscribe mud-dev-digest
  unsubscribe mud-dev
