> tenuous connection via the "MUD" keyword

You know, I came here because of that keyword and I, of course, appreciate MUD-related posts, including GP's. You may have come for "Scala" or "stress-testing", causing you to perceive the connection via the "MUD" keyword as weak. From my perspective, however, the connection is as wide as heavens and earth, and stronger than what's needed for a space elevator. I spent a good part of my youth playing, writing, programming, and hacking MUDs, and now I'm glad to have learned that there are still MUDs in active development, even if I probably won't have the time to enjoy it.

In short: self-promotion isn't bad, the GP post is related to the article, and frankly there's no need for your input here - the "poor taste" comment was unwarranted and... in poor taste itself.
