Ozflash Revised, Part 1

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 have never read the Oz stories (and am too old to start now), but I
still enjoy your commentary. I have seen the movie, of course, but that was
back in the '50s. Even so, I still knew there were obvious references to Oz
in _Eyeflash_. Heinlein did it too.
