And is also a bit of a dandy. Is there intersection between the two? It seems like there must be.
Oh yes, Mods are total dandies. Definitely in that long British tradition.
That's Chatty, to a T.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister got a Nigerian-scam-style email in the name of one of our cousins. That's creepy on a number of levels. I didn't know they did them with non-Africans, to start off with.
