I'm afraid that by the power vested in me by the AMLR(Anal Mailing List Readers) I'm gonna have to take you in => Come on people, it was an ad. If you didn't want to read it then you shouldn't have. I can remember a while back some ads being posted to the mailing list and everyone then get so riled up about it then so what gives now. I kinda liked the ad and I regret having deleted it. Not even the people on the linux kernel mailing list get this uptight about off topic mail and trust me, out of the 90 or so messages they got, a lot weren't about kernel development. Oh well, Maybe they're less forgiving, I know some of them have been a lot more helpful, not that the three or so people that reply to questions with actual substance aren't helpful. I mean, shouldn't we be spending more time on trying to help fellow coders solve their problems. I mean come on know, I got more input back from a snippet of circlemud code sent to the linux kernel mailing list, mistakingly of course, then I did from this Mailing list, and the people on the LKML didn't scream at me because I posted something that was way off topic. Well, I guess that's enough ranting for now. Please direct all flames to this message to zen@nashville.com and not circle@pvv.unit.no Thank You and Have a nice day. BTW, Mud, Could you send me another copy of that add, I like knowing what muds offer before going and wasting my limited time on them. Zen Imp of NeroMud
