Wolves

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 mean this really depends how tangential and desparate you want to get.
 Like Silhouette, which I am almost finished writing up, clearly has no
wolves, as there are no animals on the space ship, but johann, our
protagonist, is called "betrothed of fortune" by another character (and the
name Faust means fortunate or lucky) ... So the wolf in that story is
johann Wolfgang goethe ... But really ... ... No wolves for all reasonable
intents and purposes
