Write your reply.

assistant: If I understand correctly, warp 10 is something like an infinite speed or
something like that.  If the Enterprise had warp 13, they could travel at
infinite speeds.  I believe they measured on different scales, because in
TOS, they were able to go above warp 10 also.

Hello All,
  Sorry for the off topic message, but I need some help.  This message
is really directed to SysOps and Moderators, my apologies to everyone
else.
  I need the *exact* AreaTag for this echo.  A local to me SysOp friend
of mine is working on pulling FIDO through another board which is just
now setting up for FIDO and they need the AreaTag to be able to bring
this echo through for me.
  It was explained to me that it would be easier for them to locate
this echo with it so, any help will be greatly appreciated.
  Thanks,

originally known as K/S -- Meaning Kirk/Spock.  It's *usually* two members of
the same sex having a relationship within the Trek universe (Kirk/Spock,
Picard/Riker, Everybody/Wesley, Dax/Kira -- yet get my point).
Funny thing is, most of the slash fiction I've seen out there is about two
men, and is written by women writers!
