But I think she might have been obligated to back that up with more details than she would have had to back up the vague 80-yr-peace statement. And not all of the details would have been flattering.<P>This 30,000 ly figure is probably rounded enough to be of little use. All it tells us is that the place Voyager calls "home" and the planet Qo'noS are roughly at the same distance from Voyager's current location. Since the rounding error with 30,000 ly could well be something like 5,000 ly either way, and since we don't even know if Voyager counts the distance to Earth or to the nearest UFP outpost, this tells us virtually nothing of the distance between Qo'noS and Earth, or their relative locations.<P>Timo Saloniemi <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Michael Dracon</b> <br /><small>Member # 4</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,1,10,14,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">February 10, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:18 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> With the Equinox they were 35,000 lightyears away from home.

The current year on <i>Voyager</i> is 2377. If they were talking Earth years, that makes their departure date in 2277, which was after TMP. If they were tlaking Klingon years, that puts them closer to 2227*, at which time they might still have had the ridges.<P>*In a DS9 ep, a Klingon makes a log entry marked "the 999th year of Kahless", or some such. We know Kahless was around about 1500 years ago (Earth years, presumably), so a Klingon year is apparently about 1.5 times an Earth year.<P>------------------<BR>My new year's resolution is the same as last year's: 1024x768. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Gaseous Anomaly</b> <br /><small>Member # 114</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,1,15,15,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">February 15, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">03:30 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> That was Worf in '<I>Soldiers Of The Empire</I>'.<P><font size = "1">Wonder did they have to worry about Y1K?</font><P>------------------<BR>"Sack me!?
