According to dghost@****.com, at 15:40 on 21 Sep 99, the word on
the street was...

Like I said, I don't remember the details, only the general impression the
definition left me with. But "bleh" was more or less my initial reaction,
too, followed very closely by "Does that mean we'll get cyberpsychosis
next?"

I also asked Mike, after the seminar, what this meant for Essence loss due
to Essence Drain, because if Essence loss is making yourself believe it,
then what would there be to believe about a vampire biting you? However, I
don't think he understood what I meant --his reply was along the lines of
"But it's a critter power, it's not the same."
