Notes (2015)[edit]
TJonesLo Comment[edit]
These are good, please don't delete them. Just keep in mind T5 has a base set of definition which we can expand upon, but not replace.
Smelchak Comment (2015)[edit]
Thank you, Tjoneslo. They were just my brainstorming, typed out to see how they look. I have the T5 book, but intentionally haven't looked at that section yet, because I want to brainstorm free of its influence. I have several thousand pages of notes and am slowly going through them. I should probably start my own page like "Darkhstarr".
I copied the material to my discussion area, but will leave it here upon your request. Thanks for your note.
