If you play blues you will wind up sounding something like John Lee Hooker...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...NAH.
I ask you Max, does Missippi John Hurt sound anything like hooker to you?
Think on that question before you answer it.

 Well, not that there hasn't been the occasional squabble amongst A:.X 
members; ther have been "resignations", but nobody gets retroactively 
"excommunicated" - I don't even think there is a mechanism for such, 
certainly not in the Manifesto.
 It's mostly because once one is initiated into the A:.X, one is free, in fact 
_encouraged_, to form a Project or Working Group of one's own. One is a 
"fully authorized" high initiate of the A:.X, and as such is free to do one's 
Will in the world. One can go totally "rogue" and have no contact with other 
guild members at all, except for a semi-annual report to the Curators as to 
what Work one has done for inclusion in the Corpus Fecundi. (I've been off 
doing just that ever since Temple Babel dissolved).
 And nobody gets called "beaner"...
