Also it is probably a good idea to search for both as an incentive to give credit where credit is due because there are alott of muds that do not have that in there greeting as i have seen. this in my opinion would be healthy for the mud comunity. and also the mud owner would be able to deactivate his listing by simply removing that from his greeting. if i were you i would also add a delete after 10 days of inactivity -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
