Good advice from Alan Moore

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.

Daniel quoted Alan Moore re "Watchmen":

"After several months of this, Moore said, in another interview,
that, while everything in the comic meant something, not
everything meant *much*."

I love this discussion group but I think there are times when everyone 
should
take those words to heart.

Daniel, I noticed the (slightly wrong) quote from Zappa's "Evelyn, a 
Modified Dog".
I'm a little surprised that a Catholic (which I was raised as, I'm now 
agnostic)
would be a Zappa fan, but as a feminist and a Zappa fan I guess I shouldn't 
be.

I'm curious as to whether Wolfe's audience is more religious in general
than your average SF reader.
