so, let me play straight man here. (ironically enough.)
if LambdaMOO is/was such a success, what are you going to do to
top it? that is, if it achieved a critical mass of expressive

if it failed at some point, clearly it wasn't in the fecundity
department. (cow-patties galore...) so maybe you have some other
ideals in mind aside from expressive fertility.
