Apocalypses

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.

*It's not coincidence that the best High SF writers of the latter 20th and
early 21st centuries* are Roman Catholics (but I'm still sticking to my
house church).* Wolfe, Lafferty, John C. Wright, Michael Flynn.*

And you could add Tim Powers to that list if you include some of the most
innovative weird fiction...
