Hello John,

JO>Are you the moderator?

Mais oui, monsieur.  Bienvenue a la echo!

JO>Is this a place for the discussions of conspiracies?

Complots et comploteurs!

JO>Are there rules?

Rules?
There are rules?
Of course there are rules!
But only one Rule that really counts.
And what Rule might that be?
Only the Rule of One.
There used to be the Rule of Two.
But now there is only The One.

If you want to know what the Rule of One is,
the secret is revealed in the tv show M*A*S*H -

"There are two rules of war.
Rule number one is that young men die.
Rule number two is that doctors can't change rule number one."

Now that you know what the Rule is, you are expected to OBEY!

JO>Is this the serious, thoughtfully aware Lee, or is this
JO>the crazy ass incomprehensibly Cajun key tickler?

Both.  Master and Apprentice.  One to empower the power
of the Dark Side, the other to crave it.

JO>If the former, I have secrets to reveal;

"Instead of two there is now only one - the Sith Order itself.
I have recreated the Sith, Lord Bane, as you once did.  I have
given it a purpose.  For what use is power without one?"
- Darth Krayt to Darth Bane's holocron

JO>if the latter, I have secrets to reveal.

"Power is its own purpose.  To share it is to dilute it.  You delude
yourself, pretender -- Your order will yet turn on itself and you."
- Darth Bane to Darth Krayt for disobeying the Rule of Two.

--Lee (serious, thoughtfully aware Lee)
--Lee (crazy ass incomprehensibly Cajun key tickler)
