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.

I thought they were "Gray Neighbors" mentioned at the Wrap Party at the 
beginning of the book. The fact that they are there means that Chase is a 
wizard, not merely a scientist or high-tech fixer, which we knew when he had 
Cassie possessed by an Aphrodite-daemon.

If Wolfe had made a few very slight modifications to the book, he would have 
had a nice juvenalia series here.
