Friends, (This is a statement of fact, an option, or wishful thinking,
	 at your pleasure.)

     A new 'list' / 'discussion group' may be useful if those interested
wish to create/develop the timeline of FT/MT to a more detailed level.
Suggertions/Basic questions:
1) Where to start?
2) How broad will the scope be?
3) How specific will the 'new' future history be?
   (I personally think that too much detail will kill innovation for
   the people who want to do thier own thing.  (however, in the G.W.
   world, one cannot have too much detail.   It sells product!))
4) What is the objective?

Bye for now,
John L.
