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.

Yes. I think I was responsible for having it placed on _Lost_.

In all seriousness, however, it's a fine book, worth talking about it
reference to Wolfe's interest in virtualization in the nin stories and
perhaps also the islands.
