The fsnet one, like this, is an email domain - I must get round someday to proper incoming filtering. cigmorfil...now that name has an interesting history. I created the name for use in Mist (a version of MUD running on the DEC-10s at Essex Uni) and used to make "Witch" in 7 games. (I ran as a female character as the start stats for Stamina and Dexterity were higher than for male characters, even though the strength was less, and they suited the kind of game I played better.) It then got listed and finally made an arch-witch when I started to do development work on the game. Not so interesting is its origin: it's sort of Welsh; a [sort of] translation of another name I was using at the time. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
