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.

Skipping a great deal of verbiage, here's one Wolfe quote from Roy:

    "Yours is a race of pawns," Tzadkiel told me. "You move forward only,
unless we move you back to begin the game again. But not all the pieces on
the board are pawns."

You can call Tzadkiel a smerp if you like. But it's useful and efficient,
considering the scheme of the series and the character of the author, to
call him/her an angel, and that's exactly what I'm going to continue doing.
