	Okay.  I wasn't going to respond to Herr Mudloser, but I figured why
not.  Here's some personal information on me.

	1.  I am greek.  And in a social fraternity.  
	2.  I am an avid dater.
	3.  I am not a Comp Sci major, nor any other technical major, for that
	    matter.
	4.  I MU* (mostly MUSH and MUSE) for, oh, maybe two or three hours a
	    day, depending on my workload.
	5.  I play basketball.  Not quite as religiously as I did when I was
	    younger, because of a knee injury, but I could likely school your
	    sorry ass.  As an aside, during the season that I injured my knee,
	    before I went down I was averaging 32.1 points, 7.4 assists, and 
	    4.6 rebounds per game, in the toughest Summer League in my area. 
	    All this while working, being involved in a relationship, and 
	    *gasp* MU*ing.

	MU*ing is something that I enjoy doing.  Sure there are losers, geeks,
and worse that MU*.  But to make broad generalizations is something that simply
cannot be done, with MU*ers, jocks, greeks, or whatever.  Everybody that MU*s 
is not a loser, not all jocks are dumb as a sack of hammers, and not all greeks
are rapists, racists, and assholes.  
	I'm not entirely sure what your problem is.  I understand that you 
posted your picayune epithets to raise the dander of those that you so 
ignorantly look down upon, but the more pressing issue is why you feel the need
to do it.  Look deep inside yourself, Mr. Mudloser, and maybe you'll find out
why you need to do such a callous and childish thing.

Gods of War DikuMUD is OK!  Currently it is in a testing stage.
its at elof.iit.edu 4000 (or 4001 sometimes)
all mortal characters will be deleted, but you MAY (shrug?)
ask the implementors to restore it.
I have asked that all wizards be kept, but no reply was
given.  Most or all mortals will be deleted.
Until it comes back up, it is in a testing stage.
Characters re-created may not last.
Now GOW has a 40 mortal level system and levels 41-50 as immortals.
New Multi-attack quest will be in, find evil wizard by listening
to the annoying old man in Midgaard for hints.
If you see me, I MAY help until MUD comes up permanently.

     Now I hate to get of subject, but after 3 years in the California
     dimension it's one of my pet peeves.  How do you impose your ideas
     on others?  When I was living in Califorian(activist land) people
     would come up to me and say, "You shouldn't impose your views on
     others!"...Now wait a sec.  Did they just impose the view that one
     shouldn't imposes one's views on others on me?  Am I the only person
     who sees a dicotomy here?(forgive my poor spelling)

     Well, I will freely admit that I have no real social life in the
     popular definition.  (And I certainly don't see the fun in getting
     horribly polluted, making a fool of myself, than going to bed with
     some woman I'll never see again, for whom I won't be able to 
     perform anyway because I'm smashed out of existance as we know it)
     However, I am a tad more reclusive the some.  I hate stupid people
     so I avoid real people(too many of them are stupid... :) )  I can,
     however assure you with some degree of accuracy that some of those
     folk who do MU* regularly do have lives... :)

  Forgive this little spouting of idiocy, but I'm in a wierd mood.  Could
  have something do with the fact that I just watched a dead mule carried
  down Hotel hallway and dumped in an elevator... :)
