Why don't we seek to restimulate the history project - see what
essays people have (actual and potential) that could bring the story
forward and fill the gaps


Wonderful idea, but I have a horrid suspicion that the gaps will multiply
almost infinitely; history has a habit of generating at least three
questions for every one answered. The recent correspondence about bells and
the Reformation implied that there was probably enough regional variation to
fill a large book, and I suspect the Civil Wars would be the same. And then
you've got to try and answer some of the questions.
