I must admit to feeling a little less-than-peer when seeing some of the
mentions of off-list emails. However, I can only blame myself for that
lack - I'm really quite inactive in terms of MUD goings-on. I like to
think I can occasionally contribute to some conversations, if only by
putting in the effort to read posts that I know something about. Most
of the lurkers, I expect, know more about MUDs, at least from a player
point of view, than I do - I've played other people's MUDs for a total
of about 5 hours! I'm just a somewhat experienced programmer who got
the write-a-MUD bug and did so. If I hadn't been invited to the early
form of this list, I doubt if I would have ever even found it! I sometimes
wonder why JCL doesn't punt me from the posters list for my many inane
postings like this one - must be deferrence to my age!

:-) I'm much too lazy to go look, but we did actually discuss ANSI colour
at some point. Someone asked about ANSI codes, and got a few replies
with tables of ANSI codes, etc. :-)
