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.

No, Wolfe is a well-spoken and calm anarchist who accepts the existence of
reality and tries to work within the contraints given.

Something that Korean War veterans are inherently better equipped to
understand than English hippies.

In my opinion, anyway. Your mileage may vary.

I should say that I enjoy Moore's work. I don't want y'all to get the
wrong impression.
