I think they were called "proto-Vulcans". I think the implication was that they were evolving along a similar path the Vulcans did. Which, to the writers meant making them all logical and stuff. It really should've made them barbaric. But that's neither here nor there.
My point is, I don't think they were an offshoot race, merely an evolutionary coincedence.

Let's also not forget that, in "Return To Tomorrow", Spock said that the colonization actions of Sargon's people more than half a million years ago might explain some aspects of Vulcan prehistory. That opens the question of where exactly did the Vulcan gene pool originate.

Actually, pretty much all of the info just comes out within a week on TrekToday. So no worries. I think it's just "the secret factor" that gets people all interested.

Okay, that's just fucking annoying. Bandying about the email and not being able to talk about it. Christ. 99% of those wackos over at TrekBBS never come here anyways.
