reading old emails, old historical trails, and paths, and following along old story lines, the things talked about, and more importantly, the things that were missed, the hints, the allegations, the subtext and innuendo, and history, at least the 10 year window, stretching back to 97, but that window into the past, only textual context available, limited set of information, but informative none the less, more the less, none the more, all the more. but looking forward makes you stumble when you walk, but hindsight is 20/20, and there's rear view mirrors in cars for a reason.
