I'll put it this way: _if_ there is a Free Spirit that wishes to post to
the net, using a Turtle, or by Possession, or whatever. What I would worry
about is how _often_ Free Spirits should be interacting with events to the
extent that their posts make it onto Shadowland. I am in favor of a
rigorously disciplined number of Free Spirits as part of the "plot", if for
no other reason than they're so damn powerful. A Free Spirit should be a
"game unbalancing" element unless played in very specific ways...
