Not intending to flame, at all. Your point is valid... sort of. If I recall the person said that there was so much other off-topic stuff on the list that his adveritsement would make no difference. What if some other people thought, "Well, he posted his advertisement, they won't mind if I posted mine." Then what do we have? A CircleMUD listing, not a coder/admin mailing list. There's other people out there that have the same mind set as the original poster (which is incorrect, IMHO... it's like saying just because some guy commits a crime you can go ahead and do it, too). This is not the appropriate forum for advertising. If they want to advertise, they can have someone else post on the newsgroups for them or advertise via Andrew's MUD Connector (http://www.absi.com/mud). Not to mention getting their address placed on one of the several other MUD lists out there. They are in no way limited to just mailing their advertisement here, so that eliminates that excuse. There's no excuses left. -dak
