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.

>Gerry Quinn: building conspiracy theories on the coincidences inherent to stories 

>achieves nothing.

It does! Our discussions provide opportunities for us to better understand the possible ways

of interpreting Gene Wolfe and provide Gerry Quinn with something to whine about. A win-win

situation.

>But I wasn?t making a polite request above.

Okay, so it was a rude demand. Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate your admission that

you have not turned over a new leaf after all.

>and it may very well be that no sister-character exists at all.

We all agree on that. But only one here thinks that possibility excludes all value in discussing

the possibility that a sister-character does exist. That same person would, ostensibly, like to

end all discussion here. But as I've said before, Gerry, you serve a useful purpose, mostly 

theatrical, sometimes comedic. I encourage you to carry on.
