\[RT\] are Random Thoughts.  They are tradition in the Avalon community. RTs are basically long and thought-provocing mails with new project propositions, that are discussed and scrutinized at length.  One distinguishing characteristic about RTs is the complete and utter lack of consistency with respect to quality: some are pure crap, others are pure genius.  Even the original author of a RT is not sure which category any given posting falls into at the time it is issued.  These postings are no exception.
