Not on the full thrust list you can't no :).

Seriously, If people want to discuss the full thrust file format that's
fine, but I don't think discussions on the merits of various programming
languages are going to interest the majority of our members. And in any
case such discussions have a nasty habit of becoming advocacy flamewars,
which I WILL NOT stand for on this list.

It seems that from reading the discussion we actually need TWO formats -
a
standard way of recording ship designs and/or fleet members and another
to
describe the turn-by-turn action for PBM/PBEM games. I think trying to
do
both in the same file is an option - a ship design list would be a PBEM
file on turn one - but I think keeping them separate might make things a
bit simpler.
