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 have read it, some years ago. I found it pretty enjoyable. It is 
slightly 'easier reading' than most Wolfe, because a lot of the 
puzzling elements are explained in the text rather than being left 
for decades of further online debate.

A lot of people seem to read it as a right-wing parable, warning 
against the dangers of redistribution. Not sure about that myself; it 
seems to me to be more about mistaken perceptions and the 
disappointing realizations of leaving childhood.

best,

Mo
