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 was thinking the Latro books too.  Is Soldier of Sidon the last book
in the series or will there be one more?  Ive also put off reading the
Wizard Knight because of the "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs
Court" premise which seems too fantasy for my taste.  I always thought
it was geared toward younger readers (which isnt a bad thing).  Is it
on the same level as Wolfes other work as far as depth and complexity?
