[net.sf-lovers] A different thought about time travel

From: Alan Wexelblat <wex@mcc.ARPA>

One of the things that annoys me about time travel (which I
haven't seen mentioned yet) is authors who propose time travel
without a corresponding ability to travel spatially.  It seems 
to me that time travel *must* imply spatial (not necessarily space)
travel because if you move in time, then the spot you left from is
going to be in a different spatial location when you stop moving in
time.  (That is, its position will be different w.r.t. the universe.
The planets still move, the solar system still rotates, the universe
still expands.)  Can anyone think of SF in which time travel was
explicitly separated from spatial travel?  (Replies to me, please.)
