True, but most of the people running the sort of muds that people complain
about... Would do similar things if they were making people pay for access
or not. Mathew was arguing that having lots of small paint-by-numbers
commercial muds would be better than the same free muds. I was just
pointing out why I disagreed with that conclusion :) Or at least think
that it doesn't matter either way. The people that put up paint-by-numbers
things are not going to make anything interesting, if they are making
people pay to play or not.
Good luck!
David.
