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 yet to read *The* *Hyperion Cantos*, though it has been tentatively
on my large to-read list for a while.  I wasn't terribly impressed by *Ender's
Game*.  I don't think it was bad, necessarily, but it did nothing to grab my
attention.  I haven't read any of Orson Scott Card's other books, kind of as
a result.  *The Once and Future King* is fantastic!  That was one of my
favorite books when I was in my teens, and it is overdue for a re-read.
