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.

Yeah, it really is -- but then I actually like LS better than SS. On
the other hand, there hasn't been a Gene Wolfe book I didn't like (and
actually TWK is my personal favorite, but not the one I would think
"best"). The only one I have never been tempted to reread is OPERATION
ARES, but not because I didn't like it -- my paperback copy is falling
apart and it's very hard to find.
