Wolfe hunting

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.

Like I'm sure many of you do, I subscribe to A Word A Day; in one of
the most recent compendiums, I spotted this:

"From: Gene Wolfe (genewlfATaol.com)
Subject: Re: A.Word.A.Day--anabiosis
Refer: http://wordsmith.org/words/anabiosis.html

Goldfish are routinely frozen in blocks of ice for shipment. A few die,
but most survive. This has been a common practice for many years."

Is this the Wolfe, or is there another with an equal interest in occult words?
