Let's see.  Eleven days.  Besides the Melissa storyline who had visited
other timelines during cascades?  Sorry but if Drizzt were here he'd be
in his glory because he liked time travel stories.  (See Flame Wars 3.)
Think Star Trek: Generations or Avengers Forever.  Anyway, I saw this
as an opportunity to have LNHers fight the Legion of Net.Hippies, travel
to the twenties and meet a dark, scary version of Boy Lad and travel
fifteen years into the future and join forces with the LNHers of the
future (an alternate dark, scary version perhaps) against dark, scary
cyborg types created by dark, scary corporations.  Is that bad?

Ah.  Okay, apparently the August One either didn't know or forgot that
Kid Mysticism was dead.  (I think he's supposed to be old.)  I wasn't
planning on using him.  I just wanted to make it be known that he hadn't
been forgotten.  Anyway, that's why I came up with the idea that Kid Kirby
qualified to perform magic just in case.  (He's listed in the roster as
"reserved" so I only had him mentioned in passing figuring he was around
but unusable.)

Um, in the DC Universe Met.ropolis is presumably around Delaware but
Net.ropolis could be somewhere between Net.York and Bos.net and closer to
Net.York so that when the characters refer to Cyg.net.a "transforming
Net.ropolis" they mean "transforming Net.ropolis, Net.York and possibly
other cities".  My bad.

So are you saying we ought to ignore #5 altogether and go back to the end
of #4?
