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'll be up after Gannon - Gaiman - two Butler's - one Wolfe (I'm preparing
for two different SF podcasts); all my non-directed reading is on hold.

I blew through Annihilation in about a day, loved it. Looking forward to
the second and third.
