The Soundtrack

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.

Which artists provide good accompaniment to Avram Davidson, may I ask?

And while I?m going off topic, does anyone on the list know the status of
Eileen Gunn?s Davidson biography? I?ve heard it?s in the works, but I don?t
know if that means we can expect it next year or a decade from now.
