You've reached Dr. Hermann Gottlieb. Leave your name, number, and business if you expect a return call. Thank you.

The point is the same either way. You would like the data. I would like the dates.

[mathemagier]

Fair enough I suppose. What are you proposing precisely?

[exceptfebruary]

I can assist you. Pass along what I've found. What I will find. I will do the grunt work.

[mathemagier]

How are you going to do that? Anyone can poll the network for information, but the main problem is that the volume may not be enough.

And then there's disappearances to be concerned with. Naturally, those will be more difficult to find, given those dates can only be reported by third parties.

Due to all that, I suspect it'll be something of a long-term project that may eclipse our own presence here.

[exceptfebruary]

Perhaps it will be. Persistence can help with the first problem. Additionally, the more eyes the better. For both that one and the third. A handful of people keeping track. Then recruit more if some are ported out.

The second problem is mostly unavoidable, aside from my own notes. But a start could be made now to keep on top of it from this point forward.

[mathemagier]

Alright then. I do have a bit much to work on over the next few weeks, so your assistance would allow for less lost time.

Compile the data you obtain during that time, and I will start on a model early next month. Perhaps before too long we'll have a few averages.

All I know for a certainty at the moment is the Porter brings in new imPorts near the beginning of each month, but the average number of which I've yet to determine.

I CLOSED THIS TAB BY ACCIDENT AND JUST REMEMBERED sorry

[exceptfebruary]

Excellent. I will do what I can.

Should I also look out for others who may want to assist?

Especially as many don't announce their presence on the network.

[ Which irritates Julian. He likes the ones that post the day they arrived the best. ]
