…you can join the usual gang of idiots.

Through strange and bizarre circumstances (and the recommendation of the host) last night I found myself back in 1937, at a place known as the Adventurer’s Club.

As the Club President, Miss Pamelia Perkins, greeted me by name (I believe the name used was “psychotic loner”) I told her that I bore greetings from up north, from Peter and Kathleen.

“Peter and Kathleen? Oh, how marvelous! Are they still together?”

I answered in the affirmative, indeed they were.

“Drat. I had fifty dollars riding on that bet.”

Hi. I’m Glenn Hauman, the guy who’s helping Peter build this web site.

I’m the former publisher of the late lamented BiblioBytes, and have shown up as the CMO of the Enterprise in Imzadi, the leader of the planet in Restoration (along with my assistant Brandi and my minions Bibbyte and Lio) and in Genesis Wave as a researcher at the Daystrom Institute (much to the surprise of the original author, John Vornholt) and even wrote one of those Star Trek things myself– a lovely little work called Oaths which should be out any day now.

But I digress… which is a roundabout way of getting to the real topic of this post.

A lot of people have asked if we’ll be putting up the old But I Digress columns here, and yes, we will, but… well, we don’t quite have a complete archive. Actually, we’ve gone through all the old hard drives and we think it’s reasonably complete, but we have no idea what appeared when or quite in what order.

So we’re just going to post them here as we finish translating them, in what we hope is something vaguely resembling chronological order… and then we’re going to rely on the truly dedicated readers to tell us when and where they appeared. If you can tell us where it appeared, just post the issue number and date in the comment section for the page and we’ll update the entry to reflect it. Then, after we’re more or less complete, we’ll try and archive them with a bit more order.

In the meantime, hey, the search function works, so use that to find that BID that slammed [insert name here]…
