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.

Hey folks, let's have a group hug and slow down, eh?

This is a really good mailing list, probably the best "single artist"
mailing list I've ever been on (single artist mailing lists are often
a bit like single issue political parties - you agree with the cause,
but the meetings tend to be a bit dull), literary or otherwise.

Most of the major posters have come up with some pretty damned
interesting ideas, and it doesn't seem quite right to dismiss anyone's
hypothesis out of hand.

So like, yeah.  My job is pretty stressful these days (imagine working
for a guy not unlike Typhon but with a much smaller budget and only
one head) and URTH has become something of a safe haven for me.
