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 here to adulate Gene Wolfe.

I am here to discuss his work.

You are as welcome to dislike my point of view and me personally as David is.

Why do you think it may be important to me that you agree with David?
