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 agree. Bring out your theory James, even in partial form. You can complete and
polish it for publication later. This is just for fun and elucidation. will it really 
ignore the mythological boy Hyacinth? That would be surprising for a James theory. 

Yes, it will probably draw out some venomous criticism from those who enjoy dispensing 
it. And we know that some who find merit in a theory will withhold their praise. Just
remember all that has its emotional roots in simple jealosy of one of the best Wolfe
theorists still working.
