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.

Perhaps, but _Mysteries of Winterthurn_ and _A Bloodsmoor Romance_ are 
great SF novels, the latter is pretty well steampunk. My only remaining 
specific memory of _ABR_: officials think an electric bed sounds too 
comfortable a method of execution, and refuse to buy it.

Cheers, David Duffy.
