Hey Daryl!

 DS> Communication with the dead (necromancy) is dangerous

So far it hasn't happened that I am aware of but with fidonet it is likely
tempered with poorly thought out protocols and 'standards'.  I am still not
sure how an echomail based Ouija board would actually work within the context
of currently accepted ftn practices.  Offhand I am guessing it would have to be
a ANSIfied doorgame type dealie.  Also the dead might require nodenumbers with
some sort of nodelist flags that could be deployed to differentiate them from a
regular dead fidonet nodes.

 DS> Folks doing this are literally "playing with fire".

Cool.  Echomail could use the excightment methinks.

Life is good,
Maurice
