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.

  This is what Mr Waggish said about 7AN in Dec. 2009:

"The multiplicity of interpretations of 7 American Nights suggests to me 
that no, it will never be figured out. There are too many 'clues' people 
are finding that Wolfe did not intend; or rather, the real clues are too 
obscure."
