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.

Some old posters were published authors, but haven't seen them in a while.  Michael andre-Driussi, yves meynard, patrick o leary, Borski- (some of his criticism might be wild enough to classify, too; though I admire a few of his more sound textual observations).  Trying to think of more, sure I am missing some. Not sure if Alice Turner wrote fiction or was solely an influential editor...

Yes, I am lucky.  Alas, the vast majority of my writing is sealed in a desk where it will probably remain forever. 

Lots of Notre Dame posters - Craig as well.  Do you know professor Buttigieg there, Steve?  My favorite professor, though I was a biochem major back then and I haven't seen him since like 1999. 

In any case I will check out the collection.

This collection includes ten previously-published works (first appearing in a number of pro and semi-pro zines) as well as two appearing here for the first time. I'm certainly very far from being anywhere near Gene's league, but I hope that fans of Wolfe might find glimmers of that sense of wonder he does so well in my own work.
