Tesser is perhaps overly cautious here:  While it is certainly true that
compressed gorets (and indeed uncompressed ones) can be damaged by radiation
from spurple amplifiers, this can be avoided by proper treatment of the
spurple amplifiers.  To sum up: never sleep around spurple.  Sleep and
spurple simply do not mix, expecially not if either the sleep or the
spurple have been amplified.

It is in fact my rather painful experiences involving mixing sleep and spurple
that explain why I have only a partial goret.

Given that this is the right forum, does anyone out there have any experience
fixing a goret that has been injured from sleep/spurple interactions?

On a slightly related topic, does anyone have any experience porting a goret to
either F or SRL-E?
