Drotte-Roche mixup

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.

When I get home, I intend to see if the Marble/Mint mix-up in the "The 
Book of Long Sun" was replicated in the "Epiphany of the Long Sun" 
re-release. Wolfe seemed quite annoyed by mistakes like that when he was 
asked. If it is there, I will accept it as possible that an editorial 
mistake like that could be considered Set In Stone and reproduced in all 
subsequent volumes.

If it was fixed in subsequent volumes, then I will have ask why the 
Drotte/Roche error was never fixed in all the re-releases in that last 
31 years.
