    Warning: the sub-thread may contain spoilers for "Taylor Varga" and
    the Web serial "Worm", which "TV" is based on. As we discovered during
    the last discussion, "TV" assumes basic familiarity with "Worm".

    So, I need to read _Worm_ first ?

    I think a view was taken that you actually don't need
    to, whatever is "assumed", although setting details
    from _Worm_ will be easier to appreciate if familiar.


    I am reading it based on the mention here. It is nice when someone
    saves all our favourite protagonists, but my WSOD is being
    destroyed by the fact that people in story are actually laughing at
    _these_ jokes.

    This thread is over 5 years old.

    And your point is?

    But perhaps you are like one of my brothers, who regards any software
    program not updated in the last six months as "outdated" and would
    regard one not updated for five years as "abandonware", if not
    "obsolete".

    Note that none of those judgements have anything to do with how well
    the program works.

    People reanimating old threads are frequently unaware that
    they are doing so. I think its helpful to point out what they've done,
    since many or most of the original participants are long gone, and
    won't read or respond.

    There was a different Taylor Varga thread recently... here, just at the end of last year. One wonders the mechanism the reviving poster used to choose between them. Is this another thing that will disappear when replying to found usenet discussions
    is no longer an option on the web?

    One can hope.
