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, only Father's Day.  "Seven American Nights" is definitely the way
to go for Easter--it has an Easter procession, of course, but I think the t=
heme
is definitely resurrection (whether a diabolic parody of resurrection or the
real thing is another matter...)  Anyway, it's an egg story, hence Easter.

	Detective of Dreams was only suggested because it does end with
Communion, after all.

	Hmmm...  I think if it wasn't already taken (holiday, not story) that
"Sillhoutte" is sufficiently creepy for Halloween (PEACE would also do--whe=
n my
mother read it, I told her a very important thing was to figure out what ge=
nre
it was...  A long time later, she said "OH!  It's a ghost story.")
