This is the second semi-cruel message I've seen directed towards Alex. It seems no-one knows whom he his. For everyone's information, Alex is co-author of the building.doc introduction, part of VieMUD, admin of this mailing list, maintainer and builder of worlds, maintainer and author of the snippets page, part of CAW (I think), and much more. I seriously doubt he has any malicous intent towards anyone. In fact, I don't even know what makes people think they have the right to publically flame or cast doubt upon anyone, especially Alex, Jeremy, or any other of the numerous contributors that deserve respect. What have you done for us all that is so great? Try to protect us from people that are helping us? Not that we should bow down to them and worship their every step, but we certainly should owe them respect -- and you, Mr Barnett, certainly owe Alex an apology. <*=-+Daniel+-=*> +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
