&gt;Allow me to vocalize a loud "no." :) At least not the special arrival 
&gt;messages.

This depends on the type of mud.  On heavily role playing muds or whatever,
the arrival messages often break the atmosphere as players do not always
stick to things that are in character.  It also makes the whole enter/exit
thingy more Chaotic.

I am sure everyone has a different opinion though.  I am a big one for
consistancy.

Wombling down the furthest path,
David.
