No problem with that, I'd act exactly the same.

You were far too kind. I'd have told him the situation (if I was in a good
mood) then kicked him off the mud if he persisted.

Agreed again, within reason. If I logged onto your mud I wouldn't expect
any special treatment (and I very rarely log onto muds as 'KaVir' for this
very reason). If you weren't interesting in talking about your mud, then
I wouldn't press you for more information - but as I said before, most mud
coders are delighted to find someone who actually appreciates the effort
that goes into their work (I often find that coders say "wow! how did you
manage to code that?" to a feature that a non-coder has said "oh, thats
nice" about). Furthermore, I never ask for any bonuses/levels/etc within
the mud - if I like the mud, I'll want to play properly (or at the very
least invite the person to join MUD-DEV;), if not, I'll leave.
KaVir.
