@wrenpile I was a Brooklynite for only one year, but it was an eventful one (2001-02). I took the Brooklyn-Miramar local and ended up in San Diego 12 years ago. BMT are my real-life initials so I have a special affinity for those subway lines.

I saw the discussion you were involved in re clay tablets, books, versioned documents, and Needham. I copyedit a lot of Chinese-history stuff as well as some book-history stuff so I'm glad to run into you & your interlocutors
