Since this is vis-a-vis CircleMUD Related... here's my response:

Looking before asking is always a good thing.  Especially since a lot of
the things that are asked on this list have been asked countless times
before.  Especially when they are things like 'what's the difference
between these code bases?'.

Yes.  Because of a) a large number of links are listed in the CircleMUD
FAQ (including one to the Mailing List FAQ) some of these links point
at the b) DikuMud FAQ which has links to other useful information places
such as the c) MUD FAQ.

So, yes, I have reason to assume that people on this fucking mailing
list know where the fuck to look for things.  I have reason to think
that people on this mailing list have a) enough of a clue and b) enough
courtesy to do some searching on their *own* *before* asking the mailing
list.

Which part isn't clear?
