It is a major unstated purpose of this list, that by housing an almost
pure signal MUD Design discussion that we can break that mo(u)ld.

A side comment to which regarding the setups here for the list:
-- I'm in the middle of moving the list to Steward, a majordomo-ish afair.
There's only one technical hurdle remaining to this happening (LDA vs SMTP
server configuration). A major benefit once it is done will be digest
modes and monthly archives (everything to date for this list will be in
one archive. I may force all of Wout's and the prior CC'ed list into
another archive, but I doubt it)
-- I have an FTPbyMail server mostly set up. This will enable archives,
data blobs, notes, commonly referenced files, codebases etc to be email
requested by list members. (Sorry, I don't have a real FTP site available
__yet__. I am also looking into various possibilities for a for-real
WebSite for the list).
-- Yesterday I setup a local NNTP server here on the dial-up connection.
As I type it is grabbing most all of r.g.mud.*. Sometime today or
tomorrow I'm going to gateway this list to a local (ie non-exported)
newsgroup on that server. Sometime next weekend (I start a new contract
at HP on Tuesday, so time will be tight), depending on how getting Steward
setup goes, I hope to set up a news->list gateway, which would allow
specified posts here to be auto-posted on the relevant r.g.m.* groups (I'm
still debating the wisdom of this last, but its well suited for another
list I host). If I do do this latter, it would allow easy auto-crossing
of such threads/posts to the list.

Err, we're well known for very long posts -- especially me once I get into
quote mode, dozens of K fly by at a snap.

Nahhh.
