Re: What does "Free" Mean?

I am not jealous of Nodeka. A very good point was raised about the
claim that this mud is 100% free. That is, doubt was raised, the doubt was
reasonable, and it was discussed. I am not certain that jealousy enters into it.
I can tell you that I have no interest at all in getting players. This is
because I don't actually have a mud. The closest thing to an open mud
I run is a demo for my codebase. I gain nothing from getting players
from commercial muds to abandon their games.
I am as ardent an advocate for a clarified listing system as any of
the mud admins who might better fit your stereotype. This is not
because I gain from my position. It is because the position I share with
them has merit.
I'm not sure why you're resorting to claiming some sort of untoward motivation
for supporting a clarified listing. It seems to me you're taking this personally,
perhaps. If so, I don't think it is warranted.
