  The way I see it, there should be a rec.games.mush/moo and a rec.games.mud in
the least. I play Dikus. I want Diku news not philosophical Bruce discussions.
Or Net Sex drivvle. You Mush guys can talk about that in your own newsgroup.
I could deal sharing LP news in a rec.games.mud group. I think rec.games.mush
would free up a lot of space in this particular group.
  Mushes and Muds could both support a group. Why clutter a MUD group with
MUSH personal mail?
  I say we either split to rec.games.mush and rec.games.mud or set up a 
rec.games.mud.diku . What's the procedure?

True, but there are Tiny-based muds out there which are not "social"

TinySex, TinyPlots, and so on....

I might point out that most secular universities have policies that
would make the operation of a mud (on University systems) which
enforced "Christian" behavior a violation of the university's
anti-discrimination policies.  This is almost certainly true of most
public universities.

How nice.  So we can go from that to saying Bruce should be locked up, denied
his account (since it's dangerous for him to have one), and kicked off all
muds all around the world?

NOT.

(Besides, I'll bet if you were barred from a mud while other people were able

you too under these circumstances....)

The original suggestion of using traceroute was to find out which networks
you went through to use a remote system.  traceroute gives a lot more
information than ping does.  When ping doesn't work, all you know is that
you can't get there there here.  It could mean the remote machine is just
down, it could mean that the gateway out of campus is down, etc.  Sometimes
you'll even see neat stuff like gateways ping-ponging packets back and
forth between each other.  Most users are curious and will try to figure
out what is wrong even if they can't do anything to fix it.  Often this
will include doing 'ping -s foo.podunk.edu' which can use up packets really
fast.  But I stand by my claim that traceroute is not very network intensive.
It uses far less than one average news article travelling just one hop
between news hosts.  It uses less than any ftp session I've ever seen.  It
uses less than the average email message.  And for the slowest of net
connections at 9600 bps, one average traceroute uses less than .05% of an 
hour's worth of bandwidth.

Everything Bruce does that gets him in trouble is always an accident
or a misunderstanding.  Remember this.

More importantly, Bruce truly believes this.  Having dealt with
Bruce's misadventures on a number of occasions, and their impacts in
areas of interest to me, I have learned that Bruce truly believes his
actions are "correct" and that he is, in fact, doing nothing wrong.
Bruce's main problem is that he has no concept of personal ethics.
His ethical code appears to be "Do as I will, so long as I won't get
caught," and when he does get caught, he exaggerates, minimalizes,
distracts, and prevaricates to whatever extent he must to avoid
getting into further trouble and possibly losing whatever powers and
privileges he has managed to garner that might be at risk in a given
situation.

Bruce's other problem is that he is a pathological liar, but this
should be obvious.

My personal recommendation regarding Bruce is to make absolutely sure
this person is nowhere in your vicinity.  He causes trouble.  It is
not his goal to cause trouble; it's just that his total disregard for
the concerns of others results in trouble when he runs aground of some
rule of ethical or moral conduct, or the law (more commonly the
former, as Bruce is at least intelligent to know that he can get in
real trouble for breaking the latter).  Under no circumstance should
Bruce Woodcock be given any power or authority, for he *WILL* abuse
it.  Even giving him an account on the net is hazardous, IMHO.

'Nuff said.  I'm sure Bruce will flame me for this.  I really don't
care.
