    Er, ah....Ed, FUP has been used extensively and successfully by quite a few
    MOOs for the past couple years or so. If you're having a problem with FUP
    the onus is on you to bring the problem to this group with an appropriate
    description of your system, size of MOO, experience, etc. At this stage saying
    "FUP is BAD" sounds a lot like "THE SKY IS FALLING."

    Your motives for warning us were obviously well intentioned.  Perhaps a more
    objective discussion could save you some database bloat which FUP can
    definitely help prevent.

    Thank you for your concerns.
