Asunto: Re: [OPE] What is prior?
I enthusiastically agree that something must be created before it is
distributed, also with or without temporal gaps. So I can add an
exclamation mark of my own.
However, an obvious further question follows: can the thing, once created,
be altered as a consequence of being distributed?
With or without temporal gaps.
