thank you, my sonWhorl

Well, my prayer to mainframe in my last message was granted, I am once again receiving. Thank you. Now, what about that Urth mailing list? I haven't heard anything from it yet, and I subscribed soon after it went up. Mantis, I just received your response to my initial questions. I like your Pike-Quetzal explanation. It follows pretty closely with what I had been thinking. Although I didn't mean to imply that what Silk saw was an "actual" ghost, I'm not sure of what it was. I'm warm to the aquastor theory, but not sold on it, unless what mainframe produces for people to see their deceased loved ones are aquastors. That would make it more likely, at least to me. Thanks for the response, and I'm anxiously awaiting my copy of your Q&D Guide! Vance
