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.

Hi, I'm writing from Australia, and there used to be at least one other 
list contributor from Sydney, IIRC.  Here, at least, every new Wolfe novel 
turns up in our local library, often with more than one copy, so I think 
he's now seen as "worthwhile".  I read all flavours of book but still 
love S(pec)F -- currently rereading Elizabeth Hand's _Winterlong_, a great 
book greatly influenced by _New Sun_ (set in the City of Trees aka 
Washington DC after the Second Ascension, full of Librarians, Botanists 
and tribadists ;)), and Peter Watts _Blindsight_ (which also I guess has 
Wolfean themes -- vampires, cerebral hemispherectomy).
