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.

A big congratulations to Gene.  If I reason correctly, this is the most
illustrious award he's received for an individual work (in other words:
discounting the "Lifetime Achievement" award he received from the same panel
a few years back).

The Latro books are shaping up to be every bit as significant an aspect of
his legacy as the trinity of Sun books.

By the way, this is my first contribution to the mailing list.   I've been
slowly working my way through the archives, reveling in the knowledge that
there is a forum on the internet for Wolfe fans to interact.  I'm also
eagerly awaiting the spike in discussion that will inevitably follow Pirate
Freedom's publication next week.
