Probably a good idea to restate the listowner address:
mud-dev-owner#kanga,nu. Some people won't know the defaults, and will
have lost the web pages.
Probably a good idea to also source the web-page as the default
reference for list operation related questions.

Digests are 70% done. The remaining 30% centers on race conditions
implicit in Petidomo's design that I need to unearth and handle and
testing. Testing is a laborious process, especially as digests double
the total command set for Petidomo.

Remember to get posting priviledges for all addresses.

Better lose this (historical references?).

This text is also on the list's web page, with a little extra text
about the use of MUD vs mud vs MUA etc at the bottom. It might be a
good idea to reference the page and/or update the text.

Ouch. Some really bad word wrapping there, even in the original.

The best textual reference is in Bartle's MUD survey. As happens I
was in there in the early days (MirrorWorld and such). There should
be a copy on the LambdaMOO FTP site, or the MUDDex.
Note: *PLEASE* send any/all interesting MUD related documents to
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.kanga.nu/pub/Incoming">ftp://ftp.kanga.nu/pub/Incoming</A>. I would like to stock the Kanga.Nu
library for easy centralised reference by list members.

Yup. Keegan threatens reanimation.

MUD1 (which I didn't play a whole lot as telco bills were prohibitive)
was quite a bit different from what we now know as MUD2. I wouldn't
attempt to define the scope of the differences however.

Urk. I have a fairly extensive collection of rotted URLs. Will unearth.

This should attribute me and reference DEMOS and the DOME project.
