Blue, Green, Urth, and the Ring of Glass‏

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.

Once again though, Gevers suborned Wolfe's statement out of me before I received Gene's permission to share it, confronted Wolfe about it, mocked it as a joke, and behaved very unethically.   I put no validity in that question or that answer, which is an attempt to corner Gene in a puzzle he carefully developed.
