Maybe, maybe not.  I started reading this list bacause Raph Koster
posted here, and he was the Lead Developer of UO.  I do have interest
in game development though, so I might have stumbled into the list
eventually anyway.  If I remember correctly, I was looking for Raph's
homepage (his name, specificly) so I could reread the Law's again,
when my search engine turned up some of his posts in the archives.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think J.C. moderates all posts,
blocking those that are inappropriate.  You may get a larger audiance,
but those that stick around after a few blocked posts will be those
interested in game development, perhaps the next Raph Koster, Richard
Bartle, or Daniel Harman.
