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 like this in your review of *The Fifth Head of Cerberus*: "I can't keep
beginning reviews of Gene Wolfe's work with "one of the best books I've
ever read" or "one of my favorite books of all time,"

I started off by reading *The Book of the New Sun*, *Peace*, and *The Fifth
Head of Cerberus* and was shocked at what masterpieces they were, then
proceeded to buy up 40-odd volumes of his work right away.  I definitely
understand your sentiment!
