This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

For those of you who are interested in Wolfe, I have produced a fanzine
_The_Book_of_Gold_ which discusses various aspects of his work (e.g., the
women in The Book, _Soldier_of_the_Mist_, an article on cyberpunk).  Drop

That's actually "arete;" it means the gentlemanly skills to be found in the
best soldier.  Unfortunately it looks as if the series will stop here.  GW
was going to write a third book _The_Soldier_of_Sidon_ (and possibly more)
but his publisher (Tor Books) is not obligated to buy it.  _Arete_ features
the quadrennial Pythian games at Delphi, which were held inbetween the
Olympic games.  Latro is a competitor.
