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.

Delany's  the champion of the SF reading protocols theory, right? I 
suppose I am advocating a weak version of that, in that serious science 
fiction writers ought to be informed about such science as is commonly 
found elsewhere in the genre, which can easilly be presumed to include 
the Guiness Book of Records and Asmiov's corpus of non-fictional work.
