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

Jus wondering if anyones met Wolfe? Scanning the net ive discovered the sci-fi convention and sadly due to my location will probably never go to one. It saddens me that I'll probably never meet Wolfe. I don't have the funds to travel to the US yet.

As that in the case I'm considering writing a letter to Wolfe. I must say that such things I have always thought of as obssessive and a bit odd but as Wolfe is a relatively low profile author there is always the tantalising chance of a reply to show the grandchildren. I must say that reading Wolfe has been probably the most enriching experiences in my life and my girlfriend has to put up with my rants of his greatness.

Have any of you guys attempted this. I know you can contact him through his agent. If you think this a really bad idea please tell me. I am aware that the answers are in the book its more a 'your great, keep up the good work' sort of letter.
