Maybe we shouldn't base member status on posts, but on words, based on what's in here and other places.

On the idea that the Vulcans lost track of the Romulans: Perhaps something happened that caused the Vulcans to think that the dissenters were lost shortly after leaving. Therefore, when Spock heard some people claiming to have been Vulcans at one time, he didn't immediately associate it w/ the stories he had heard of these supposedly dead dissenters...

I hate to refer to Voyager, but in the (admittedly good) "Deathwish", did or did not Q mention to Mr. Janeway that it was Quinn that caused a 100-year war between the Vulcans and the Romulans, during one of his drunken escapades/healthfood binges/suicide attempts/attempts at a sitcom?

Now I'm not 100% certain about this, but it seems to me that the Vulcans and the Romulans would be doing things a bit too well in order to have a war which nearly wasted Vulcan (as Spock once said), and then to go on to have another altercation, this one lasting about a century.

It's my guess that this 100-year "good family feud" and Spock's war are one and the same. BUT that leaves the question:what role did Quinn play in all of this?

How silly of us to imprint upon the vulcan and romulans our concept of warfare.

Take chess. It is a war of sorts where the opponents use strategy and the forethought to see the outcome of possible moves. A game of chess takes a lot longer than a wrestling match.
