Peace: non ho capito

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 am not sure if I am thinking of the same discussion of _Peace_ that you
are (although I remember only one) but if I am then "good" is perhaps
overstating it. What I remember is a lengthy discussion (which I started)
about what Weer knew about Napolean's hand. It reached no definitive
conclusion.

No wait, that's wrong. I am just remembering that there was also a
discussion about whether Weer killed everybody else in _Peace_, long before
I joined the list.

I just looked it up. The original _Peace_ discussion was in the Urth Mail
Archive Volume 1. The "Napolean's Hand" discussion, which also has its
points of interest was split over Volumes 10 and 11.

Here is a long interview with Wolfe that includes info on _Peace_:
<http://world.std.com/~pduggan/gwjbj.html>. I got the URL from this Wolfe
page (check it out for many other good Wolfe links including more
interviews) <http://world.std.com/~pduggan/wolfe.html> which I got from the
Whorl web page <http://www.moonmilk.com/whorl/>.
