That is, of course, your choice. For the list alone, my opinion
would be "no". As for this thread, rather than leaving it alone,
perhaps comment on or criticize aspects of MUD user interfaces as
opposed to how they're implemented? Me, I welcome the technical
stuff but I wouldn't want this list to become entirely technical,
since there is more to the design of a good game than that.
