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.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Wolfe only have daughters? And other
than Metera Rose, everything else he's written (and from interviews) leads
me to believe he's feverishly devoted to Rosemary.

Lets not make this personal. Wolfe writes Greek mythology, not modern hyper
politically correct lit.
