A firm deadline is important. We should not push it back. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 10/03/2010 06:56:31 PM
That is, if people are still reading. I started my re-read interspersed with Gibbon (I'm on Volume V now and starting to hate him for his anti-Byzantine statements; his blatantly racist statements are at times disarming, too - "A black or a parrot might be taught to repeat the words of the Chalcedonian or Monophysite creed" ).


And the rest(including myself)can finish it by Monday.
