There's an amusing principle under there that applies to MUDs quite
well:

  When you give people a way to interact and communicate and they
use it, and you then take it away, you WILL get an explosion and
they WILL put it back themselves, somehow.

There's usually little sense in fighting that battle.  This is
rather applicable, if indirectly, to the current situation with EQ
and object/character sales, or UO's early experience with ICQ.
