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 quite like _The Difference Engine_, but get the impression I am in a 
minority there.  Blaylock is often included as a 'punk, but at the more 
fantastical end.  Christopher Priest's _The Space Engine_ isn't strictly 
speaking, or is it?
