>Do you have to know how to fix your car to drive it? NO. But it helps. >Do you have to know how to build your house to live in it? NO. Again, it helps. >Do you have to know how to code to "Run" a mud? NO. Administrate the MUD, no, run it, so that the mortals are happy, and be able to innovate and add new stuff to it, YES. Running a MUD is not like driving a car. How many times does your car crash? Probably not as often as a MUD. And in order to stop it from crashing, you need to know how to fix it. Just like a mechanic knows how to fix a car. If you are just administrating the MUD, and deleagating responsibility to those that can do the jobs, it's ok. But if you are delegating coding responsibility to someone who isn't a coder, that would be like asking a non-mechanic to fix your car.
