8:229 — 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: 8:228 is dated 06-JUN-98, and 8:230 is dated 07-JUN-98. Whatever was posted as 8:229 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.
