Holly, I've seen your posts on RGMA and am extending an invitation to join the mud-dev mailing list. Its a private list, and we keep it very high signal to noise. Personal attacks are not welcome, but you wouldn't be seeing this from me if I thought you would... The good part is that I don't know exactly how to go about doing this :P JC is the list owner, claw#null,net, coder#ibm,net I'll try to get you a more formal invitation scared up, with actual directions as to what you should do to join. If I remember right, try sending mail to mud-dev#null,net with subscribe <email_addr> in the body... > > >If we go public on the list, then cross-posting might allow the best of > >both worlds: good thoughtful content on this one, and perhaps a > >rejuvination of thought on rgma. > > My own views are oft stated on this area: the field can't yet fruitfully > support two seperate venues without signifcant loss; if we do leave Usenet > as-is as the main active forum the field is going to die, guaranteed, > within 5 years (probably less); and I don't think Usenet is worth saving > or working with (yet).

You've got a point, but I think that even just CC'ing this group's posts to RGMA might offer those who are looking for it a glimpse of civility and thought that they otherwise would not find. AFAIK RGMD and RGMA spawned many of us, I know it did me. I'm not suggesting that we allow losers to post here as they wish however, they should have to pass some kind of minimal decency test :P I still think it would be a shame to allow RGM* to die though..although I am at a loss as to how to save them from themselves... > -- > J C Lawrence Internet: claw#null,net > ----------(*) Internet: coder#ibm,net > ...Honourary Member of Clan McFud -- Teamer's Avenging Monolith... > Ben Greear (greear#cyberhighway,net) <A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~greear">http://www.primenet.com/~greear</A> Author of ScryMUD: mud.primenet.com 4444 <A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~greear/ScryMUD/scry.html">http://www.primenet.com/~greear/ScryMUD/scry.html</A> </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00148" HREF="msg00148.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: membership</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Holly Sommer <hsommer#micro,ti.com></li></ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00129" HREF="msg00129.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: membership (was a fruitful exchange on clas</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> "Jon A.
