Do you give a scalpel to someone who thinks they might be able to perform brain
surgery?  NO.

Running a mud does not require *you* to be a coder, but if you want to change
the code it should be done by a semi-competent coder.  And, if this theorhetical
coder shows up here asking these basic kinds of beginner questions, get them
away from your code, ASAP.  You'll spend years undoing all the damage they can
create.
