It may be that I misunderstand you, but I see this as an
example of LBM (lesser magic) rather than GBM -- the
techniques used are those of psychology and presentation and
omission, rather than the use of any magical link.

There is a wide variety of conversations that go on witin the Temple of Set.  
Each topic of interest varies with the individual, so what might be of 
importance to you may not concern another.  If the topic is a sound 
intellectual one, then you most likely will find responses the next time you 
log on.
