You're right.  I tend to spend tim on several muds and talkin to people in
the lab, and often come across as not doing a damn thing anywhere.

What a waste of my time that would have been, having been banished! And
YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME A DIRECTORY!  Not only that, but in much of the time I was 
there, I was ACTIVELY CODING, albiet not on YOUR love child... You did not
entrust me with any write access whatsoever - with the exception of the "save"
command, IF it does anything.  Now that I've been banished, I guess I'll never
know (or care).

>Furthermore, you had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
A little subjective, here.

You didn't use "force" once.  Admittedly, I didn't start scripting off your
mudlib for later use, and since I was given no directory I was unsure if
learning anything about your trivial implementations would be worthwhile...

     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ok... I admit it... not only was I on both TMI and Shattered Worlds, but 
I WAS VIEWING GIFS at the same time!  They were tasteless and dirty! You are
right... I'm tasteless and unrefined...

I guess you won't find out, without having me around your mud, will you?
We'll see if I ever become a homeless wizard again, won't we?  If I do, I know
one mud I definitely won't be begging at the doorstep of.  Personally, I don't
feel that I would be helped any by a recommendation from YOU anyhow...
