New to the list

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.

"Beware," I think.

Most of the people here have read everything Gene Wolfe ever wrote,  
including grocery lists filched from his garbage can (Dude!  Remember  
March 12, 1992, when he wanted Reddi-Whip?  Those were the days!) ,  
and are not going to be circumspect about spoiling the books.
