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 vowed at the time Marc Aramini posted what Wolfe really had to say about
_The White Goddess_ that I was going to post a link to that post every time
someone raised the specter of _The White Goddess_ and its supposed influence
on Wolfe. I can't seem to find it now, so it must be in the year of lost
archives. Could you send it again, Marc?
