I freely admit it. Why this matters...\n\n First, I don't feel like re-typing the bush/brush\nquote from Shadow, but perhaps the more argumentative\namong you (the ones who could most likely answer this\nquestion) have memorized the passage already...\n\n As far as I know, I was the only one who attempted\nto retype the passage on the posting list, mainly for\nthe benefit of others like me. This posed a a single\nproblem, and a single benefit (which I have already\nstated indirectly). The problem was not definite, but,\nMurphy triumphed, and I took more flak (indirectly)\nfore that than I believe me typing it did good. I am\nsorry for that. I have already apologized. I do again.\n\n Anyways...\n\n I didn't get the quote entirely wrong (and I don't\nmean that I mis-spelled every word). I maintain my\napology, but the replies to my post idicated only that\nbush should have been brush, and this is a faulted as\nmy posting was.\n\n For anyone who didn't read an original copy, or for\nthose of you who read 4 editions and failed to correct\nme ENTIRELY (taking a jab at MANTIS, j/k), the quote\nmentioned a bush and a brush.\n\n This is entirely not a typo. Some people prefer to\nlook in four different editions (getting old? sorry)\nto prove this, but me, with my single edition, only\nhave to remember that Wolfe, like so many other\nauthors, use pronouns. He could have said another, or\nit, or something, if they were the same (or same type)\nof object. He didn't. Bush and brush. Different.\n\n That's that, I just felt guilty and wanted to\nclarify it, and, being lazy, lacked the willpower to\nretype, and possible mis-spell again, the passage\ndirectly.\n\n BTW, what's a brush? It obviousy has some\nsignificance, since people cared enough to post\nsomething about it, and I believe I heard short sun\nmentioned somewhere... (I haven't gotten around to\nshort sun yet).\n\n And the other thing (with regards to my laziness),\nwas that I am a self-proclaimed Wolfe fan, and I would\nhasten to procure (photo) copies of any Wolfe short\nstories not in his published collections, but with the\ninformation provided on the list so far, I think it\nwould be more difficult than it could be.\n\n So, for the big request: could someone PLEASE post\na complete list of uncollected Wolfe stories in loose\nMLA bibliography style? I know it's a large request,\nbut it would be immensely helpful to myself and\ndevoted others.\n\n Come on mantis... you haven't anything better to\ndo...(last mantis jab, I swear. Mantis, I respect you\nand your work very much).\n\n «Lord ESN»" } ] }, { "message_id": "", "from": { "name": "Michael Andre-Driussi", "address": "mantis at siriusfiction.com" }, "date": "2002-03-25T03:21:10+00:00", "subject": "Re: (urth) Uncollected Wolfe Bibliography, brush-bush", "in_reply_to": "", "reply_link": "subject", "blocks": [ { "kind": "quote", "depth": 1, "text": "G Willickers wrote:\n For anyone who didn't read an original copy, or for\nthose of you who read 4 editions and failed to correct\nme ENTIRELY (taking a jab at MANTIS, j/k), the quote\nmentioned a bush and a brush.\n\n This is entirely not a typo.
