Wizard-Knight sucks, or, is there any scholarly research on it?

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 don't know whether to be more chagrined or amused at him. (I thought
of resurrecting my Yahoo account and telling him he'd've to pay for
the only scholarly work or spend several days reading through
urth.net.) I didn't think _The Knight_ was that bad, although I didn't
enjoy it nearly as much as _New Sun_ or _Cerberus_.
