The amount of C&C from the last couple of chapters was

Shouldn't have been. It's great stuff.
About the length; well, if I wrote them any longer, I'd have
problems editing the chapters with PINE. [...]
About this. I just bought a book on Emacs. Why? Emacs is a text
processor. I can no longer keep up with anything I'm doing for the
remailer without it. I would *strongly* suggest using it instead of pico.
On the chronologically displaced kids thing: Last year, around
the beginning of December, people on the net were speculating about what
Ranma's kids would be like. This story was born out of that thread. If
I remember right, D&I #1 hit the net before December's End, but the
identities of Spring, Tachi, etc. were not explicitly stated until D&I #4
or so, which I wrote in January.
As I remember it, at the end of the first chapter, you challenged us to
name the character's parents. I know I responded within minutes of
reading it with the correct answers. They were kind of obvious.
