big changes afoot

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.

Ranjit,

This is wonderful. Thank you.

It is all too easy for me to forget that someone is doing a great deal of
work and spending a great deal of time to make the Urth and Whorl mailing
lists, web sites and archives exist and function so smoothly. As with so
much of the web, I have more or less been taking it for granted that these
resources would just always be there, although in the back of my mind I
knew this wasn't true.

So I would like to take this opportunity to say that I am very grateful
that you are continuing to support this site; it has given me a great deal
of pleasure and provided me with a lot of entertainment over the last few
years. If there is some way I can help out, please let me know.

By the way, I really like the new format of the web page archive on the new
site.

William Ansley
