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.

1st let me say thank you all 4 reminding me that outside my little world there are others who 

are as avidly interested in wolfe's work as I. 2nd: (ok i know this isnt the best topic 4 this site 
but)
has anyone read anything from Vernor Vinge and does anyone know of a good site, like this one, for 
discussing his work? ( i know that was 2 questions im sorry)

3rd does anyone know in what piece does Wolfe mention "short stories by 
vernor vinge" (who i know to be an actual author because ive read some of his novels and essays***)?
ps i think it may be in castle of days...?

*** - Vinge's essays on 'accelerated returns' as well as 'the singularity' are, i feel so anyway, really interesting and kinda tie in with what GW has said about recreating and/or altering ancient and mythic species and such <im reffering here to castle of the otter where he talks about the destriers and smileodons>. 
((if you are interested in the topics of those essays i suggest you simply goto google and do a search.
I did so with great success.))

OH lastly! not to sound sappy but does anyone here write? (well i do, i try to.)Because all of you who have responded sound delightfully intellegent and quite well spoken. WOW that was sappy, sorry.
