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.

Of course, that would cause demarcation problems in some cases - and
in no case more than with Wolfe. I think the _Sun_ cycle, taken as a
whole, has to be read as both SF and fantasy - it has some distinctive
features which ar sceintific or technological, and others which are
magical or supernatural.
