Is Borskis (sp?) Theory Wright?

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.

No David, saying some fans prefer to discuss certain
interps rather than others is not rude.

The smiley, thank you Chris, is to indicate that
exactly this situation is the case in Long Sun. But as
Chris goes on to remind us, Pas couldn't quite pull it
off. Well Pas is no angel, eh?

The Wolfe quote is very relevant of course...

Top posting? Pah! Feel free to frown!
Now that was rude   :-)
