Whoa! Shame on me for misrreading this post, and for not replying right away!!

Richard, that would be *GREAT*. I mean, absolutely wonderful. I'd love that.

Tough. Craig wanted the maps for CW, I know, but it's hard to say. It *is*
his artwork, after all; and if he doesn't give us his permission, I'd feel
bad for using it. But I have not been able to get ahold of him at *all*
lately, and I don't think anyone else has. I can't help wondering if he has
really forgotten, or - heaven forbid - stopped caring about CW and lugnet...

Well, now anyone asked you. Richard, what do you think about CW? <grin>
No, seriously, that is mainly it.

Right!

Definitely! Of course not. If someone feels limited by the proposed map,
they can add their own - dontcha think?

Terra incognita? Sorry, I'm behind on latin. Translation?
I agree with what I *think* you're saying. I know some people want their
realms in a "parallel" space or whatnot, accessible only by majick. And that
seems fair to me...

<enthusiastic nodding>
I was holding back because I was disappointed by my own procrastination, and
felt like I should shut up until I show something (Gareth's Abode). But oh,
yes, definitely, I get the feeling people have things in planning, but are
holding back. And that's just... not good!

Hmmm, he mentioned he isn't following lugnet regularly lately, maybe email
him a link to the post?

Careful, now, there's another Mr. Hamilton in the area, (the amazing Brad as
opposed to the amazing Craig!) so you wanna be careful about "who you gonna
call"! <grin>

Dead cats are always welcome... errr, good ideas, I mean. Um, yeah. ;-)
