I was polling, and the question below caught my eye.

> Yes, but only when I didn't feel I was getting an unfair advantage.

> Sure, lots of times

I am not sure, but I do not think that any one of the answers addresses MUDs
like Achaea.  Might there be room for a "Yes, it was supported by the
business model"?

The last two seem to apply, but for me there seems to be an air of "Yes, but
it was against the rules" to them.  *shrug*

Just my $0.015 ...  :)
