Over the last few days, it seems that _someone_ or other is out to track down
and hunt to extinction every loony and crackpot (read: non-like-minded
individual) who posts to Shadowland. Do people really have that much free time
and resources (considering that tracing communications to Shadowland, a
secured BBS, is a nontrivial enterprise anyway)?

At this rate, some sort of _very_ unfortunate precedent could get set, and I'm
not sure either the sysops or some of the larger shadowy institutions that
use Shadowland as a nexus of communications want this happening. If posters
to the board start having bad accidents, I think some "entities" will have to
take notice, and I would feel it a point of realism for our forum here if those
"entities" made their displeasure felt on those responsible....

In other words, please think before trying to persecute posters to Shadowland,
lest what goes around try to come around to your characters...
