The Politics Of Gene Wolfe

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'm with you on this.  Not too many folk realize that most small  
towns in the 'wild west', the ones all those tv shows were modeled  
on, required the temporary confiscation of weaponry upon entering the  
city limits.  You got your guns back when you rode on out.
