Re: A poem I wrote about netrek

Very nice!  I really like it.  I't not cheesy.  Touches my soul.

This game has so much potential.  We understand this by the the fun we
have and what it once was.  As jrd mentioned, life support and
publicity.

At this point, the only idea that comes to mind to promote the game is
how I and others around me were introduced to it.  I was enrolled in
the computer engineering program at BU.  Hung around the computer labs
at MIT/Tufts/BC/Harvard etc.  A bunch of foreign folks were enrolled
at these colleges too. Heard and seen people talking about it.
Someone took some time (a 10 minute face-to-face) to bring me aboard.
