That's right. r.g.m.* has arrived at a working compromise.

Absolutely - I keep trying to tell the guy (Caliban) that as long as he
insists that Unix is a MUSH then people are going to criticise HOW he's
saying what he's saying, instead of listening.
As I see it, some mud servers preclude the possibility of muds as a medium
of artistic expression. When I was telling some Dikuhead that very few
people "got" Island (in the sense of "grokked" or "understood") he said
"It's a mud - what's there to get?". Obviously, Tinybrains (*) understand
muds as art at a deep level, whereas players of other sorts view this as
heretical.

:starts a religious war over the spelling of hiccough. ;)
Mk
(*) I don't know where the terms Dikuheads, Tinybrains, Mordorers and
LPeers came from - I think I just evolved them.
