Short Story 82: The God and His Man

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.

Dicken doesn't seem to come up much. In the one hit in the copies I have:

Herbert came up in the same session though:

Might be more hits on Urth.net but you'll have to struggle through all
the hits for Emily Dickinson and Charles Dickens.
