changing the code to specify the new folder but other than that, as
long as the MUD stays in the user home, what would it change?
Where most people expect to find it, that's all.
Where your argument breaks down, Paul (IMHO), is that the MUD is not
a folder that most users should expect to find in the first place.
Nor was it ever such. If everything is running/working the ways it's
supposed to, a user should never need to know that the MUD folder
even exists. The fact that, once upon a time, there wasn't a better
place for it than the Documents folder does not mean that it should
continue to be placed there in such a way that many users do indeed
muck it up.
I would hope that with the next major release of MS Office for the
Mac that MS would place this folder in the ~/Library/Application
Support/ folder where it (now) belongs. It might even be publicized
as a 'feature' that prevents certain kinds of data loss.
