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.

Moorcock wrote "Black Blade," "Veteran of the Psychic Wars," and one other
song for BOC. I used to be a pretty big Moorcock fan, but then I discovered
Wolfe, who is so many times better. I remember someone on this list once
explained why they disliked Moorcock, and I found I agreed completely.

Here it is (from Andy Robertson):

I like Moorcock as a person; he seems to be a very nice guy, judging from
the way he interacts with fans on his website. Someday I'll read more of his
books, but he's not Wofe.

 As for "Gojiro," do you mean "Gojira?" Because that's the title of the
original Japanese Godzilla film (It's also the title for the US release of
the original Japanese cut, which is a much superior film to the hacked-up
1950s US version of the movie).
