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 agree.  I think is is obvious that Wolfe is riffing
off some unidentified themes and references, and that he
recycles some of his previously used ideas and motifs to
employ them in other stories.

To tie the stories together narratively does not seem to be
possible given the differences between the inhumi and the
annese that have already been noted.
