Heh. Thanks. I skimmed it already-- a few quick observations...
(1) Anyonen who starts out by quoting Robert Anton Wilson (or was it Levay?

(The "Do what thou whilt" quote.)

he never sp[ecificly adrssed as such, is that he at least implicitly
understasdn that a MUD universe is all about psychology. After all, terhe
IS no physicality. Its all psych and group dynamics.
