some mysterious stuff in Long Sun

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, but you'd have to accept that Wolfe is doing something 
extra-textually with the story to accept that; that is, drawing from the 
Illiad, Robert Graves, etc.
