(i only glance at rgm* and none others...can someone recommend any decent groups?) presented as a [fictitious] dialogue by a single poster, that would help to hide the fact that the points are being generated by a discussion list. it would throw something into the public for open comment (hopefully to start some threads in those 'threadbare' groups - bad pun eh?*grin*). i think anyone *really* interested in the discussed dialogue but not interested in posting to the group, would then chat to the poster of the dialogue, naturally. as long as the poster of the product to the public forum is one of the more longer-term members of this list, then the poster would be considered a good enough judge of whether to invite the interested party to the group or neglect to mention the list. damn, i'm nearly incoherent after class :) *beg forgive* -John G. </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00161.html">[MUD-Dev] Source data on Crossbow</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00163.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: Making the list public?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00169.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: Making the list public?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00139.html">META: Making the list public?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00162"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00162"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00141" HREF="msg00141.html">[MUD-Dev] META: Making the list public?</A></strong>, Cynbe ru Taren <a href="mailto:cynbe#laurel,actlab.utexas.edu">cynbe#laurel,actlab.utexas.edu</a>, Wed 16 Jul 1997, 11:23 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00144" HREF="msg00144.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: Making the list public?</A></strong>, coder <a href="mailto:coder#ibm,net">coder#ibm,net</a>, Wed 16 Jul 1997, 13:06 GMT </LI> </UL> <UL> <li><Possible follow-up(s)><br> <LI><strong><A NAME="00150" HREF="msg00150.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: Making the list public?</A></strong>, Jon A.
