I read an earlier draft that was lengthier, but I know that it changed
substantially after that. It was up on the web, at a "secret" URL so
that we at OSI could read it in advance for fact-checking... but it's
gone now. But I know that much of the content of that article will be
in her forthcoming book, as a case study of UO.

:X)
Well, carving of corpses was possible, see, and once you got ribs, you
could cook them, see, so it just sorta happened. :) That an an
overzealous designer who thought chopping up corpses was cool. :)
