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.

On a related note, at Capricon 32 in Wheeling, IL (just outside of 
Chicago), there's going to be a panel with Gene and Cory Doctorow 
(excellent!):

Ironically, Gene has not treated as a superstar at the Chicago 
cons...which makes the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame event so 
significant. So it is possible to actually have a normal conversation 
with him.
(hint) Don't give him a book. He gets these all the time, and he says he 
doesn't get a chance to read for pure pleasure anymore (ala the book 
forger in "Peace").
