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 read *The Worm Ourobouros* a couple years back, and it may appeal to you
if you are a fan of Wolfe's baroque and archaic elements.  The plot and
characters are skewed far toward the mythical, and there's approximately a
0.005% element of realism.  I seem to remember a lot of "thees" and
"thous," but I might be confusing this with William Morris.  I don't
remember anything about the political elements Jerry is mentioning, but
that doesn't necessarily mean much, as I forget a lot.
