John asked me to post this, so here we go:
I have two suggestions for AWI (one regarding the browser in general - and
one for AW)
1) For the actual browser, let world owners specify a terrain texture
prefix - which defaults (when blank) to 'terrain' - so that all worlds go
'terrain0', 'terrain1' etc. still.
2) For AW enable terrain with the regular grassn texture... of course a bit
lower than then buildings... then just put a bot in like in AWTeen. It'd be
great for people in AW to build with terrain but original ground textures
would be the same so that pre-existing areas remain unspoiled.

Here here! :) There are some people that would have you believe that this
is a dumping ground for useless posts. It's fast becoming that. So let's
try to turn that around huh? This newsgroup was created to supplement the
community newsgroup so the rest of us who have been torn down in the
community group can actually have a voice and participate in discussions and
debates.

Alas, both newsgroups have their own faults. The general.discussion
newsgroup is still a novelty though. So hopefully these useless posts will
die down after a week or two. If not.. well then you've proven Nornny

I was hoping it would become a newsgroup to supplement the community
newsgroup. I'm beginning to see the error of my ways. Hopefully things
will turn around for it though. Don't count it out yet.

General Discussion newsgroups and forums have popped up all over the web for
the sole interest of those wishing to participate in discussing things
beyond the set topic in other newsgroups and/or forums. Yes, they do
include useless posts, but some of them can be very funny and are worth a
look. In fact, I've known some useless posts to get up to hundreds of
replies of more worthless garbage, simply because the results are very
interesting to look through. When posting in a general discussion
newsgroup, it is not necessary to remain serious. These types of newsgroups
are there for the rest of us to have fun in. So have a sense of humor about
the things you post.
Now I'm not saying that this should be a dumping ground for useless garbage.
I am simply stating that in General Discussion newsgroup/forums, you can
post things other newsgroup charters would normally frown upon. This
doesn't mean posts that have no point are welcome in these newsgroups. Each
post should have a point, whether serious or funny. These posts can be
about politics, the latest movie you saw, an upcoming game that you think
people might want to be interested in, or almost anything, really.
Now many of you know that I've been an advocate for this general.discussion
group. Now that we've got it, I don't to see it turned into a garbage dump.
Many of you are writing it off already simply becuase of a few posts by
people who still view it as a novelty. They are simply testing out their
new-found freedom. Let's hope by reading this they'll hold themselves in
check. :) Anyways, look for an example of what I'm talking about shortly...

Avoiding it altogether doesn't help things either. Sometimes it's good to

And pigs can fly. :) Well, maybe when their evolution reaches its
climax...
But you're right about one thing. It really does make no sense trying to
understand it all. Some things you just have to take on faith. And I guess
depending on which faith you hail from, all things could be possible. You
