Gosh, posting again. This is habit-forming.

Just a thought, O paragons of Shadow-hood, but what are you trying to prove?
Certainly not your facility with logic. However hard you strive to establish
some kind of "official" ruling on the subject of conjuring and slavery (or
anything else, for that matter), any GM who disagrees is going to chuck it out
the window anyway, so why bother? Instead of arguing uselessly bacl and forth,
let each GM get together with his players and resolve the issue for themselves.
Which is what's going to happen anyway. If GM "A" and his players says that
spirits exist on their own, who is GM "B" to say otherwise?
So why post ideas like that at all? In spite of the unconsious assumptions of
most of the people on this listserve, it's not to seek everyone else's
approval. It's also not to garner a barrage of flames in return-though that's a
common side-effect. Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I do it to share
my ideas and opinions with others on SHADOWRN who might be interested in them.
Ed's ideas on spirit slavery were thought-provoking, interesting, and I plan
to work them into my campaign, if I ever get one going again. Pending of course
input from the players in that campiagn.
I was going to add my opinions on the slavery issue itself at this point, but
I think I'll save it for later.
