Thanks.

Oh one other thing you seem to forget I did have input way back.  I was
trying to give you guidance back when you wanted to add scripting.  You
ended up going with Lua which is not a bad choice,  not the one I would have
made if I had to do it again but I sure the hell wouldn't have wrote my own
functional language like I have  done so I think in that case you have done
well.  I haven't got the time to go through your code or I would.  I have
however kept up with what you're doing.  I thought even in the past I have
gave you encouragement in private but you know if you want to keep it nasty
because I got pissy with you once over some comments you made that fine with
me.  I just refused to jump and bite so  again have a nice day.

Ken:
Every time I've mentioned my mud in any sort of thread, you've wrote
back basically tooting your own horn and telling the world how great
your engine is; in fact, you took this thread as an opportunity as
another reason to advertise your own mud. Don't give me that about
"eating our own," because I can't really remember to much of you
offering your vast amounts of aclaimed knowledge up for advice on this
topic, without you can squeeze something in about how awesomeness your
own engine is as well.
