I think it may be a good idea. I'm sure that many of the "more advanced" people on the list are tired of seeing the same things pop up all the time, and it seems to me that the questions have become even more basic recently. I wonder though if all of these "more advanced" people will cease subscribing to this list. Personally, I take the time to answer some of the questions that come up, newbie questions or not, depending on my mood, the completeness of the given information, the simplicity of the answer required, the alignment of the planets, etc. But I would dread being the only person on this list providing answers... my patience isn't unlimited :) Might this list simply dry up from lack of support, because everyone who has added multiple attacks or races to their own CircleMUD decides they don't need it anymore, and subscribe only to the "advanced" list? It's a nice idea. Don't know if it'll work. Graham Gilmore
