Even rare journals that do not accept personal communication
references (although some of those allow such in the body
of the text but not in the reference list) will I think
now accept URLs as references and that should include
URLs of newsgroup posts, to get the URL find a post on
http://groups.google.com and then view that article only
and copy and paste the URL from the browser URL window.
In rare cases such as crossposts to too many groups the
post was not archived, e.g. some of my June 1993
waning crescent posts entitled

Fractal twi/pu/[n]ning and the arrows of the ...h[E]r(T)s..
(with some variatio at the end of the title)
may not be archived but four, including the
one to sci.physics, are as listed on

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=author:David+author:Dalton+geop.ubc.ca+OUIow&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&filter=0

The one to sci.physics and other groups is

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=author:David+author:Dalton+geop.ubc.ca+OUIow&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&selm=1993Jun17.142515.2643%40hubcap.clemson.edu&rnum=3&filter=0

(the first group in the list of newsgroups is no more important than any
other in the list).

Now that does not mean I am asking for money, in cases where anyone
has and/or expects to make money from any of my clues and ideas,
but I DO want to be referenced, including in scholarly journal
articles and patents and more that may draw on my stuff. Of
course if any money is thrown my way that makes it more likely
that I will give the thrower of the money first access to
future ideas and/or devote time explicitly to ideadancing
for his or her problems, or at least think them over, then
put them on the back burner and then a bit later after
good live music maybe something good will pop out.
Also if any journal articles have gone out that should
have referenced me but did not the authors can publish
a short correction note remedying that in the same journal.

The FTE mailing list is also archived and can be
referenced.

As for my two dimensions of time theory that I later
adjusted to a complex time theory, the development of
that is on :

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=author:David+author:Dalton+tangular&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&selm=DALTON.94Sep3032537%40calico.Geop.UBC.CA&rnum=2

Now there should also be a post about a seven dimensional heart with
those two time dimensions and five of space but I can't find it in
the google groups archive so maybe a hacker has deleted it. Also
I thought I had mentioned complex time on newsgroups before 1998
but the first mention still in the archive is

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=author:David+author:Dalton+geop.ubc.ca+OR+nfld.com+%22complex+time%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&scoring=d&selm=6i569a%24kib%245%40hathaway.nfld.com&rnum=10&filter=0

Some may find this, from FTE list July 18, 1994, to be amusing as well:

Also from that list of Nov. 12, 1994, oh wait, it
not on the list but is an e-mail to
RealTime@mindlink.bc.ca (RealTime was a CBC radio show):

Good Enough reminded me of,
      at this "point in" "real time",
how bull***=horny sheared imaginary time
      (precessing lemniscate time)

I guess you know what a real "Time" is in Newfoundland?

On Jan. 5, 1995 on the list I wrote:

So now, back to physics. For any given 3 multipoles in three
dimensions, there are seven distinct feasible combinations, so the K.S.
told me (actually I have to check). Now in physics I have
speculated that, with K motion and S entropy, the universe can
be descibed in terms of a seven-fold heart with 3 real space
dimensions, 2 imaginary ones, and two time variables. So the
problem is to use the key of the K.S. combinations to unlock
the love of that heart in its full power.

Also on that list in 1994 or 1995 I did a play on
"does it matter" or "it doesn't matter" relating
imaginary time to matter but I can't find it in
my personal files so may have to search through the
list archives later for that and a couple of others
than I neglected to save.

There is another mention of the seven-dimensional cardioid
clue in January 1995

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=author:David+author:Dalton+geop.ubc.ca+OR+nfld.com+heart+dimensions&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&scoring=d&selm=DALTON.95Jan17011543%40calico.Geop.UBC.CA&rnum=8&filter=0

However the original post was in summer 1994 and I can't seem to
find it, which is odd unless someone has gone to great lengths
to hack-delete it from the google groups archive and this
computer's hard drive and my floppies in this office and I
have not yet checked my other copies off-campus but will do
so in the next few days. However some on here and other
newsgroups have very good memories (better than mine)
and/or may have a copy of the post in question which
should contain the word "heart". Also google groups
is not the only archive in the world though it may
be the only publicly available long term one but
governments that fund scientists may have access to
others. In the original post I think I think not
simply say five spatial dimensions but probably three
regular ones and two more that were maybe angular but
I forget. In at least one later post I referred to
it as a ten-dimensional heart theory but the original
post specified just seven dimensions. Maybe the
cardioid bit is the only good part of the clue and
the number of dimensions is incorrect.

Oh, wait, I am sure I posted a more detailed thing to
one or more newsgroups earlier but one more mention was

which is the earliest mention of it on the FTE list by
me I think but again I posted it earlier. Oh wait I
just did a search for "seven" and found

I am leaning towards seven dimensions: three the usual (or mapped
to liscuute space) spatial dimensions, one the usual (or mapped
to precessing lemniscate) time, two imaginary (so complex math
with two imaginary axes, probably one is like a spatial length
and the other is angle related), and one other time dimension
(could be like 1/t or a window of time or a rotation or twist of
time). I'm not sure of the topology but it appears to be
self-contained, breathing and self-similar. Topology
thoughts: fuzzy apple, bra straps, planar coils (elements),
nylon pantyhose.

So I must have added the heart bit later and the cardioid
mention even later though I thought I mentioned a
seven-dimensional heart in July, August, or early September
of 1994.  Also I meant above three real spatial dimensions,
two imaginary spatial dimensions, and two variables of
time and only later did I think that those two variables
could be posed as complex time though that depends on
analyticity (whether Cauchy Riemann conditions hold).
So someone else may have been influenced by my two variables
of time theory and made the leap to complex time before me,
Ha, Riemann would roll over in his grave.   But perhaps
you can extract some useful components from the above,
and/or I will consider them on the couch o' ryewoman (I wish).
Note those are long out-of-date home and work and fax numbers
and office address information from when I was at UBC in

which I sauntered through a few times.
