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.

Not as much of a contributor as I used to be but ...

SF fan, definitely, but I also read a lot out of genre.

Where I'm from: Originally, New York, but I've lived in Northern California all
my teen and adult life.

Who I am: I hate that question. A soon-to-be 50 year old tech writer, with
some occasional fiction published; father of two and husband of one; sharing
my home with three cats and one Rottweler; a loyal friend; a Catholic; an
amateur philosopher of sorts; a maker of lists.

I once absend-mindedly ordered Three Mile Island dressing in a
restaurant and, with great presence of mind, they brought Thousand
Island Dressing and a bottle of chili sauce. -- T. Pratchett
