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.

Not really. I think "Lady of Mazes" requires very close reading for it
to work well and if you are not into it soon, it might not work for
you at all. If you want to read a better blend of action and ideas
from Schroeder, I would suggest Ventus or Permanence. His Queen of
Virga series is good but I'm not turned on by the book's
world-building.
