Q5. Are there any resource archives for the mailing list?
< link to CircleMUD page, Which in fact does have
a link to Diku Home.(Dont see any MOO, MUSH, or other types there)>
Now, if you wanted to find out information about C programming. Would
you buy a Windows 95 Manual? (to put it in your words) FUCK NO
So, why would I read a FAQ about a "MAILING list" to find out about
different types of MUD's??
... We can get real stupid on this subject now cant we?
And I think this part is perfectly clear, your misconception of Mailing
lists and MUDs.
