- %q BTW: Article 2U1, Thirty-seven Ways to Deep Sea Fish with Four Feet of Dental
- %q Floss seems to have some non-existant cross-references. Maybe meant to be
- %q index entrys instead?

- They are not "non-existent" cross-references; they are PRE-existent cross-
- references. That is, they have simply been referred to before they were
- written. Now Project Galactic Guide frowns on these pre-existent refs, but
- some of us think that is merely a symptom of Anti-Future Bigotry (q.v.).
-
- The article was originally written for the AlterNet Guide to the Galaxy,
- which is non-judgemental about temporal differentness. We really don't
- care when you come from, or which direction you experience time in. We
- just want you to write something that will make us a lot of money.
-
- The following is an excerpt from the ANG article "The AlterNet Guide to
- the Galaxy", concerning the format of ANG articles:
-
- %x <<xref>>
- There can be as many of these as you like. They should refer to
- real ANG entries. Keep in mind, however, that this project is
- going to last forever, and so will eventually have an infinite
- number of entries, and so there will eventually be an entry on
- everything of any interest, so you can put anything here in the
- sure knowledge that, eventually, an entry will be made to fit that
- xref. Or maybe not. We never did understand infinity....
-
- As a benefit to those of you who do experience time pastwards, a
- translation follows.
