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 picked up Worm Ouroboros over a decade ago for the same reason and still
haven't read it!  But another I picked up because it was an influence on
Lewis was David Lindsay's* A Voyage to Arcturus*, which I did read and
found it pretty amazing - really, really weird planetary exploration.  I
know Wolfe has at least read Arcturus because he uses it as a foil to
Lafferty's obscure novel *East of Laughter* in his afterword he wrote for
it called 'Scribbling Giant'.
