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.

Kieran,  I have a copy of Wolfe reading 'A Solar Labyrinth' and 'the Island
 of Dr. Death and Other Stories'.  They are pleasant to listen to,
though he is a sonorous reader.  I have never heard his interviews on tape
or 'The Soldier of the Mist' on tape.  I would really like to find
the 'Soldier' stories to listen to.

In a barely related story, about  a week ago I went to a local bookstore to
 hear Neil Gaiman read form his new book, 'Stardust'.  He was a very
enjoyable speaker.  After listening to him read a chapter and answer
questions form the audience, I stood in line to have my copy signed.  I
was wracking my mind for something conversational to say to him when I got
to the head of the line.  I settled for, "Please sign it to 'Craig' ".
When
I got home I noticed the dedication - "For Gene and Rosemary Wolfe".  Doh.
