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.

Hmm...should I go back and re-read it?
I am a huge W Gibson fan...my 2nd CD was "Kings of Sleep",,,but I really didn't like DE and read a book by the co-author (Islands in the Net ??) and thought it was, as Roddy Doyle says.."A Gob of Shite"
Would really recommend "Pattern Recognition" by WG and lots of early Paul Auster..not exactly sci-fi...but there are some similarities with GW
"New York Trilogy"
"The Music of Chance"
"Leviathan"..about the uni bomber
"Timbuktu"..from a canine point of view..

Anyone else read them??
