message: I remember some reference to the Internet Engineering Task Force in the book. What role did Vinge give them again? Kalaong (talk) 13:46, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Could they be the entity that monitors the boundary of the Bottom? (oops, wrong book) Pham (in the backstory) sets up a broadcast system to try to give humanity a common clock and a steady source of information that might prevent local economic collapses; could that be it? —Tamfang (talk) 07:48, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Translations 

message: I find a great similarity between these two characters. I think this is emphasized in the first part of this book and the first part of Time Enough for Love but the similar incidents at these times aren't the only common features. Their vast ages and the reverence with which some people treat them are other similarities. Even more, I find their personalities somewhat similar. 76.28.103.69 (talk) 17:45, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This would be interesting in a section on 'literary influences' or something like that.  The Spiders are rather Tolkienesque with "Underhill" and "attercops". --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 18:46, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Has any Critic Ever Compared Pham Nuen to Lazarus Long 

message: The term seems to be used primarily or only in geography, not history. Evidently used here to mean something like "critical moment". Perhaps it's a translation of an expression in another language that has that meaning, but it's not clear in English, so I have changed it. -- Thnidu (talk) 05:11, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot summary: "historic node"??
