: Hmm, I'd always (personally) classed the post-holocaust stories (Sea Seige, No Night Without Stars, Star Man's Son) as a seperate group not directly connected to the space traveling Terra of the more direct SF novels. I also tend to put the "Time Traders" group in a seperate line and put "Star Gate" with the "Witch World" line. Any thoughts or comments?

You have just hit one of my points of difference to Maureen's timeline. I classify the "Final War" of each of the post-holocaust stories (incidentally, Star Guard and the Solar Queen books also qualify as "post-holocaust" stories) as the branch point where that specific side-road takes off from U.S. 101 (to go back to my "map" analogy).

The Time Traders books could be a different line to the "mainstream," but I feel it more appropriate to place them in the prime sequence -- otherwise, too many "later" references -- and assumptions on my part -- have no "foundation" on which to build.

As for classifying Star Gate with the Witch World line, I must admit that it is an interesting approach, and one that never occurred to me (nor, I suspect, to Maureen when she was putting her timeline together). Before I would be willing to comment further, I should like to know your reasoning for the association -- I have a suspicion of what it might be, but I hate to make unsubstantiated presumptions about other people's thought processes. I have to make too many unsubstantiatable presumptions about my own to be willing to take such liberties.

: BTW, I'd love to see your time-line when it's ready.

Actually, it's at a point where I am willing to pass it to a select few individuals willing (or crazy enough) to look it over and give me comments and criticism. But it is certainly not ready for general distribution.

: I'm goint to try that address, I think AOL was tring to go to a http header, that's what my address line was reading. I'll let you know what happens. And, yes, I wouldn't be the least supprised if it was AOL's fault.

: Thanks, : Lynx

You're welcome, I'm sure.

Respectfully,

Michael B. Caffrey Stellae Nostrae Sunt!
