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.

Answers to the below:
Wolfe quit PLANT ENGINEERING in 1984. And the story
including the interesting architecture and the Mexican
invasion was "The Haunted Boardinghouse", in WALLS OF
FEAR (ed. Kathryn Cramer), Morrow 1990, one of Wolfe's
best stories, incidentally.
