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.

Dear members -

I didn't vote (just missed the vote), but I am
puzzled by the fact that two of the books sometimes chosen
(Thomas Covenant and Elric) were truly repulsive to me. I tried to 
analyse why,
in case of Elric I concluded that it seems to me full of (slightly 
veiled) plagiarism
on the level of ideas and images, but in case of Thomas Covenant I could 
not find
a rational explanation (the same with other books by the same author). Most
of the rest I like very much myself.

All the best
