&+GATTENTION CLIENT USERS!

&+GApparently when players sit idle on the mud for long periods of time while
&+Gusing a mud client which holds information for them until they return to it,
&+Gthe socket will overflow and cause the MUD to eat up all available memory and
&+GCPU on the machine.  PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!  If you intend to be idle for 
&+Ga long time, please do not use a client, or LOG OFF.  Otherwise, do not be 
&+Goffended if we kick you off ;)
