Oh no! Someone is edging closer to the troll cage! ...Tom is the list's
troll; you won't get a definitive, on-topic statement from him. Everything
must bend to his will, etc...
I have suggested that perhaps he is a paid list lobbyist, or perhaps here
from some church to cast out demons. That he can't seem to on-topic almost
demands some sort of pretense as at play... chronic pain?

I would suggest that mechanisms are physically subject to majick, just as
any other physical article... hrmmm, anti-majick mechanisms?

No no no... it Is about majick. Just exactly what you are thinking it
should be about. Casting spells, demons, majickal items, etc...

No, I don't at least. High technology is high technology. What would
majickal high technology be called?

You are right... but it still may not be cool if he pulled a rabbit out of
his ass, as Tom trolls because he has a rabbit in his ass, but at least it
would have to be on-topic.
