Believe me, I do _NOT_ know everything... I'm a newbie myself. But I
don't see why the post was wasted, along with our bandwidth with comments
about the english on a web page. I personally don't care how people
write, just so long as its semi-legible. But what was done was the page
was practically picked apart with comments like this:
>>I, used in the personal reference should be capitalised,
>>and professional only has one 'f'. I'll let you off as this is an
>>email and people tend to get lazy in emails.
And also, there was no ObCircle which is requested in the FAQ if you're
going to post an offtopic post. And as to helping the newbies: I love
to help people that I can, but many I can't due to my inability. Sorry
if that post offended you, but I don't see why that was posted. Note
that, in the title, thereis an [OFFTOPIC] so that people using e-mail
filters can now avoid reading this admittedly worthless post defending my
former one.
ObCircle:
I uploaded my prompt addition to the incoming directory at
ftp.circlemud.org
It's called xp-prompt.diff and its in patch format. If any of you are
interested in using it, drop me a line saying whether or not ya like it
just to give me an idea of whether or not it's a useful addition.
