 MOOs are great. They really add a new dimension to on-line relating, and 
make for a richer transaction.

BUT:  I don't want to see us lose focus on the format of SCN, and what 
people are really logging on for. It's awfully tempting to try and offer 
users every possible service, just because it's internet-related. If SCN 
is to have any sort of MOO presence, I'd strongly suggest we pick one, 
set up a pointer to it, and leave it at that. If SCN becomes a center for 
'games heaven', it's gonna jeapordize our standing with the branch 
libraries, who rightly see SCN as just another service, competing with 
their catalog.
