While I have seen a few minor messages on >>the subject of Zip-MUDs, this is the first time I've seen one get so >>big so fast. Dude Well done! Most eloquent. Seeing as I'm probably the dude that started this whole flame war thing I thought that it was time to add some for fuel to the fire ;-) I started off saying that it was not supposed to be easy and I remain on that point I have over the years( 20 odd) seen lots of people that want to program whether it be work or games but are just to damn lazy or incompetent to read and or buy a manual. For this reason the art of programming must remain difficult to keep these morons out!! But if you are willing to learn ask questions and read then i say welcome to the brotherhood brother! I've been coding for abut 20 years now and i regularly help new people who are willing to learn. Maybe i'm just the exception ;-) But im really suprised at the posts by people on this list who it seems couldt be bothered to help another member of the human race with a problem in his HOBBY cos lets not forget folks this is NOT BRAIN SURGERY and were not ENDING WORLD HUNGER but playing at something for FUN So my suggestion is learn some humanity there will always be people below you on the ladder of evolution and hundreds of others above you ! How about a random act of kindness and respond to some newbies pleas for help or if not just push the damn delete button it wont kill you!!
