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.

Last year Wolfe said, (or I understood him to say) that Skip's last name 
is Reese [I don't know the spelling]. I asked Wolfe whether that implied 
HF was in the AEG universe. He replied that he didn't think Ries and 
[Rees] were similar. Whatever.

[spoiler]

Wolfe also related that this was a kind of picture of the complexities 
of what people think they want in romance. It seems to Skip and  Chelle 
that this is the perfect situation. When she comes back, she'll be 
married to a wealthy, powerful man. He will be married to a beautiful 
young woman. But when they are reunited, they discover that their 
relationship doesn't mesh right anymore...there's 20 years separating them.
