So it looks as though next week might work out better for everyone? Big Duluth, are you out there somewhere? What about Another Alaskan? We haven't heard from you guys yet.

Compassionately intolerant
That's lovely.
A very straight laced journalist friend of a friend of mine used gorram in a sentence at a party. He looked as if he had startled himself by letting that slip and then looked around to see what reactions he was getting. I smiled and, soto voce, said, "shiny." He beamed.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
A few people know I have been hired to write an adventure for the Serenity RPG, and I thought I would through this into the hivemind to see if anyone has any answers for something my editor and I are struggling over. While this is a background detail, it dovetails into one of the plot points that drives the scenario.
When people fled Earth-That-Was for the 'Verse was it ever explicitly stated anywhere whether Earth was completely abandoned or if there was a sizable percentage of the population left behind? Looking Earth's population curves (we are looking at least 10 billion by 2100) and based on the line Earth was 'used up' I was thinking there just wasn't resources to do a complete excavation, and there were people left behind. But other than one shot in Serenity (it didn't look like there were tens of thousands of ships leaving Earth-That-Was) I can't find anything substantive.
Any help would be appreciated.
