All I will say on the matter is that after having dealt with several
Pucks of various types in my life, I can honestly state that what they
do is almost always according to a well-defined set of Puckish rules,
and I find it greatly commendable to adhere to a well-defined value and
rule system. Pucks are folk of their word (even if we don't always
understand the words), and folk of their word are a rare treasure.
