May 2014 Wolfe interview in _Technology Review_

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.

Now, if I find Lee's stuff over the top, at least it's stuff (and my issue with Lee is more his tone than his content). Whereas recently Gerry has gone out of his way to say 'nothing to see here, move along'.
I would argue that in cases where I have been criticising proposed 
interpretations rather than proposing my own, I am merely arguing for 
some kind of consistency of approach and of interpretation, and for 
interpretations that are not infinitely malleable when critiqued.
