   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.
