You know... I was going to just say that, in all likelihood, at least one of
you or comex will be dead by 2199. But then I figured well, who knows what
kind of longevity-enhancing techniques will have been developed by then.
Plus, there could be someone else at that point playing with the name comex.

And if j were to die tomorrow, not having deregistered, and if B were to
continue operating for about 200 years without deregistering j and without
having removed macks and transfers of macks, he could keep playing via
future game actions from beyond the grave.....

Unless, maybe, an Outsider ceases to exist when its External Force is no
more. But what if we all just figured j had gotten busy with non-B stuff,
and that's why he was no longer doing anything?

Creepy.
