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.

Heading is spoiler warning, so you've been warned.

	I compleatly omitted to mention that Buster Hill as a name seems to be a
pretty clear reference:
		Hill =3D Calvary
		Buster =3D Broken
The foot wound, which seems to have several significances in Wolfe's more
complex works (i.e, both saint and Claudius, etc.), here in this simple
story would seem to be directly from Genesis 3. "Writing" and "public
relations" can, in the light of this symbolism, be seen as cyphers for
aspects of the church (Word; evangelism). Maybe. But I think the name
itself is clearly deliberate.

Nutria
