[-empyre-] clarifications regarding programming in 2007

[Christina McPhee <christina112@earthlink.net>]

Hello everybody,  just a brief detour here, then we can get back to  
the topic.


A snippet misquoting a recent post wherein I announced a May break  
for -empyre-, apparently spawned massive confusion.  The snippet  
makes it sound like   -empyre- could be somehow nonfunctional until  
the mythical "Fall/Spring 2008."



My email apologizing to blackbyrd in May for the use of the term  
"fall' is here:   https://mail.cofa.unsw.edu.au/pipermail/empyre/2007- 
May/msg00008.html
