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.

GW is an engineer don't forget..

I read an interview somewhere (?) where he said that he wrote one story (The Woman the Centaur Loved??) as kind of a challenge a friend had given him to see if he could blend 3 very different given elements into a story...maybe food was a chosen element to insert in AEG as he mapped it out ....

Specifically, there are many names of salad dressings mentioned in the book, including at least Green Goddess, Russian, Thousand Island...

I think Wolfe was just having fun.

As much as I like Wolfe, I will never understand his sense of humor. Perhaps it's a joke on US? Apparently he doesn't read the Urth list, but surely he knows how we go after the strangest and smallest things when we read his books. What kind of dressing goes well with red herrings?
