Invitation to MUD Design Mailing List

[coder at ibm.net]

Hey there -- as the system should have told you, you have to subscribe
first...  I'd love to see you in there.  Just send a message to
mud-dev-admin at null.net with a subject of "subscribe" and wait for the
acknowledgement.  

NB I've crossed this reply to the list.

<chortle>  I'm on a new contract at Charles Schwab, and they're being a
mite pushy about deadlines for me to have much time for the list right now
alas.

Pretty much the stuff we were discussing on Wout's list?

Writing of which, anybody heard from him?  He hasn't replied to several
emails, tho none of them bounced.

Not an area I'm familiar with.  I'd be real tempted to have a chat with
the TrueSpectra or ColorWorks people on that.  They're both pretty neat
chaps who are more than willing to explain the gritty details.

Hopefully if you subscribe quickly enough you'll be in time to get any of
the other's replies.  (I have to turn in early tonight, so you'll have a
day lead before the list gets to re-spit this message to all the members).
