8:167 — missing
No response survives under this number. It is absent from both surviving copies of the transcript, and it was already absent from the editor’s 1999–2000 export — the loss is older than any web edition. Nothing that stood here can be recovered, and nothing has been reconstructed to fill the space.
The responses around it survive: 8:166 is dated 14-APR-98, and 8:168 is dated 14-APR-98. Whatever was posted as 8:167 was posted sometime between those two dates — that bracket is all that can honestly be said of it.
This page exists so the absence is mentioned, not smoothed over: the number is part of the record.
listen — the marker for this absence, in the editor’s voice
