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.

As has been stated elsewhere, Gideon is (or pretends to be) the sort
of pulp hero that kids of all ages love - he's dashing, he's
mysterious, he has a cool car. He's like Batman or the Shadow. It's
odd how nostalgic a book ostensibly set in the future is.

Are there any interviews where Wolfe talks much about his childhood
reading? You can infer a lot from his books (Oz, the pulps, etc.), but
I'd love to see some sort of list.
