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.

good job dave I think her apartment has been changing especially with things like a safe she did not know about and east and west arbor.

No offense, but the typo defense is especially irritating when we all know Wolfe leaves small clues that are meant to add up to something that defies reality - realistic novels and Gene&#39;s work operate on different parameters.  A few years ago in The Wizard Knight someone actually went and asked the editor if a line was a typo as they asserted and this lead me to stop posting for a long time.  No point looking for little inconsistencies that add up to a vague concept mentioned in the story when everything can be dismissed as a typo. I think the east and west dichotomy and the presence of wealth on one side of town is enough to preclude a mistake of this sort.
