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.

And "Strange Birds" from the chapbook of the same name. Have we ever
discussed those two stories here? I thought they were pretty good, but
I'm not sure how many people actually ordered the chapbook. Well at
least Mr. Gevers read it:

"Strange Birds" actually features the return of Stromboli [sic?] from
"The Toy Theater". I guess Wolfe does have a thing for puppets and
puppeteers.
