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 was 'turned on' to Vonnegut in the early '70s when I was still in  
high school -- I absorbed a number of his books like they were  
oxygen.  And Player Piano was part of the AP curriculum.  I remember  
most fondly the God Bless You, Mr. R, Cat's Cradle period the best.   
In later years I thought he'd become a terrible bore, esp. about the  
Dresden bombing.  He's entitled to his opinion, having lived through  
it, but I don't think it was emblamatic of the Allies aims during  
that incredible apocalyptic holocaust.
