This Makes Little Sense to Me

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 have a simple solution. Buy some paper books
by Wolfe - new, not used, he doesn't get any money from used books -
AND get pirated texts. It is NOT legal - but as the author gets the
money anyway, it is not so important - unless you want to strictly
obey the law.
