Slightly Off-Topic: HPL

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.

In no particular order, off the top of my head, *I* think the really  
good stuff is:

_The Call of Cthulhu_
_The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath_
_At the Mountains of Madness_
"Pickman's Model"
"The Rats In The Walls"
"The Color Out Of Space"
"The Dreams In The Witch-House"
"The Thing On The Doorstep"
"The Dunwich Horror"

No doubt other people will add their picks, and I will say "Oh!   
Yeah!  Wish I'd remembered *that* one!"
