The problem with using a reflex trigger before you're used to the 'ware is
that, when you turn on your wires, your body isn't going to have a clue as
to how to react. You need that time (probably a couple hours per level
reflexes, modified by your natural Quickness) to get used to moving with
it, or when you try, you'll fall flat on your face.

Also, Ollie, your reply-to field is overriding the list. Needs to be
changed (if I had to, you have to. Fuck 'em all!)
