Well, you dont have to be any place in particular to read or post notes.
You can sit somewhere way the heck out in the wilderness and write a note
to your guild. You can send notes to only certain people, or to groups of
people. Like say a note to StormeRider or a note to immortal. You also can
do one line of the note at a time whereas on the Circle boards you have to
type the whole message at once. Some people have also made it so you can
also remove, edit, and repost a note.

Hrmns, I never did really like threaded systems except in UUNet newsgroups.

Download a copy of Rom and play around with it, or go to
telnet://cshadow.net:4000 and see the style of mud that I'm taking my
Circle to. :)
