This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

All right--Geoff comes through! (Somebody from "here" got through to
"there" and came back.)

Re: Timeline of 1000 to 2000 years in the future--great!  Let's try
it out and see what we get.  (For starters, that period isn't in the
zodiacal age of Pisces, so figure the spring equinox in Aquarius;
star positions will not be as radically different from our own as
would be the case in other models we've been considering; if 2000
years from today, then each post-historical epoch could reduce down
to a "shrimpy" chiliad, i.e., one thousand years each; and so on.)

Re: more inhum(a/i?) on the Whorl.  Ha!  Ha!  Well, that takes a load
off of Quetzal's shoulders. <g>

P.S. Geoff, no pressure or anything, but when are you going to
complete the next stage (CLAW) of your character index?  I hope you
haven't given up!
