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.

Message-ID: <AFEFKBJKJDDJOMBNACBNAEPHDMAA.nigelaprice at talktalk.net>

The WindyCon organisers have now published a detailed programme for the
weekend of 14-16 November.

The panel with Gene Wolfe, Michael Andre-Driussi and I in which we will be
discussing "Post-Historic Warfare" in the Urth cycle is at 12 noon on
Saturday.

Wolfe is also appearing on the following panel on Friday evening at 4 pm:

Child Soldiers ? The award-winning Ender's Game, originally published in
1977, changed SF warfare forever. The story of an unwitting child soldier,
it takes place in the far future where children make the best soldiers.
There are children serving as soldiers today, but is the future really
different? How did Ender's world develop and could ours develop that way
too?
     R. Karp, R. Neumeier, J. Ringo, F. Ruiz, G. Wolfe

As an aside, and for what it's worth, I'm also on a panel at 10 o'clock on
Sunday morning in which we'll be discussing the Miles Vorkosigan stories of
Lois McMaster Bujold.

Really looking forward to all this!

Nigel
