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.

Please add my voice to the advocates of Gene Wolfe.  As a
professional writer and sf-lover from well before Doc Smith era, I
think he is the best thing that has come over the pike since "Canticle
for Liebowitz" and is at least the equal of Tolkien.  I realize much
of this has been already said but it is worth emphasizing.  I seldom
buy a hard-cover sf book but I could not wait for the "Citidel of the
Autarch" to come out in paperback.  (Unfortunately, the last of the
series though still excellent, is the least satisfying, probably
because most of the mysteries are cleared up.)  I hope Wolfe carries
through with his New Sun and gives us some more of his fantastic
universe.
