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.

I just re-read Wolfe's centerpiece for the third time in ten years, and I
still don't know: What the hell happened at the Wall of Nessus?  How did
the characters get separated.  All I know is that there were uhlans
blocking the road, then commotion as the travelers apparently panicked and
crushed themselves a la General Admission Who Concerts.

Does anyone have any other thoughts?

Any other questions (I'm dying to talk about this book again!)
