It's the everlasting circular argument....

I missed that one. I've never been able to fully grasp the effects
of FAB so I would have enjoyed the insights (and the yelling). B>]#

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.

This may be OT, but I'm a bit new to the Mailing list thing.

About Strain III: How would someone effectively contain a small
sample, and keep it from exiting its container through the astral. Or is
there just no way to contain Strain III inside of a container of any kind?

It depends on what your Strain III actually is...

I don't know, having not seen anything on it (it's in Corp Sec, isn't
it?) but I gather that it's some form of astrally active FAB? Couldn't
you use a container of orichalcum, or something that has been enchanted?
You'd just need something with an aura.

And Welcome! though I fear Bull will have found you before I get to say
anything:)

Yeah, FAB was lots of fun as far as lits traffic was concerned...of at
least 140 mails, all but about 30 had to do with FAB:( seems like that
went on for at least a couple of days (which seemed more like a week): It
got so bad, that, while I said most of nothing else the entire time, I
swore never to use the stuff! And I don't have any of the books to use it
anyway! I've changed my mind since (Mike gave us an actual ruling:), but
it raised some pretty hairy questions, at least for some people:)
