posted it until now because I wanted to make sure it wasn't in the books.
I asked Jordan when a man with the spark would slow. He hesitated and
rubbed his chin, obviously trying to make up the answer on the spot, and
doing it to be consistent with the books. The answer is: Women usually
slow at twenty, sometimes a little earlier, but usually around there. Men
wouldn't slow until 25, usually closer to thirty. He claims that they
could go past thirty, but that probably depends on how early they start and
how much they channel.
So, if Taim started at twenty or so, like Rand (actually, that's later than
Rand), and channeled a reasonable amount, he would probably slow at
twenty-seven or thereabouts. After all, Nynaeve started probably at
sixteen or seventeen, and only channeled on the uncommon occasion that
someone was dying in her presence of some disease, and slowed at
twenty-three (that's the age Setalle Anan thought she was, but she's
twenty-six). That's seven years or so.
Well, Taim looks thirty-five, according to Rand. He shouldn't. Even if he
didn't slow until he was thirty-two, Rand still wouldn't have estimated him
as being as much as fifteen years older than he was. So, my
conclusion--Taim is Demandred. Only a Forsaken could look that old, given
the slowing. Yes, I know it's not solid, irrefutable evidence, but it's
still good evidence. That's my two cents.

: Perhaps Taim started channelling late. Just like some of the ashaman are
: old geezers, Taim could have started late.
If he had the spark, it's unlikely he would have started much later..
certainly not enough to account for his appearance now.

Taim said that he had been channeling for 15 years IIRC

(Admittedly, the only exception to the oxymoron statement, but it is

Oh, I don't know, Tshenly-one. It can be kinda flattering if someone
felt compelled to do this!

Rich, I've seen some really _crappy_ ascii art in my time.
Your tower was not among that group. Truly impressive.
Wow.

That's a very impressive tower that someone came up with. I think, Rich,
that you have found a new .sig!

Back up there.
I _drew_ the original picture, but I DID NOT do that ASCII masterpiece.
That was done by Philip Powell (ccx...@coventry.ac.uk)
I would dream of taking credit for it.

Oh, I came up with the design for the Tower in my picture at:

Either that or he has had a really rough life before he started
channelling - lots of drugs, booze and Saldean Farmgirls.
