How list works and questions to mailers

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'm from the UK myself. General reader with a taste for science
fiction and haunted by some of Wolfe's books - in particular "Peace",
"Free Live Free", "There are Doors" and the Latro books. Read the
Severian books as they came out and some scenes are with me but I've
never got on to the following books.
