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.

Indeed. 

I also came across E C Tubb's THE WINDS OF GATH and believed the same thing 
about **that** book.   It's a fine work if you don't know about the 30-odd 
near-identical sequels 

But we drift off tropic.
