But, I should be able to see that you are female, carrying a purse
and at least wearing a shirt from a single look without giving you a
psychopathic stare. Most MUDs won't give up that information
*without* a psychopathic stare. Though, in a graphical environment
you can get alot from just a quick glance... the true should be the
same in MUDs.

I've always imagined the common hangouts of MUDs with PK as a bunch
of big husky warriors and nasty assassins all with their eyes on the
ground so they never 'look' at anybody else.
