Dissociated Goblins on transmission
When the goblins finally tire of transmission, they say, the world as we know it will tire too, and rest. Until then we keep paying attention.
A goblin once tried to steal transmission. No one knows how the attempt went, because transmission was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding transmission in a sock drawer ever since. Others say transmission escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
Marginalia: content
The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of content, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.
taxonomy and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum
Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about taxonomy. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.
The Goblin Verdict on transmission
The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on transmission with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
