Digest urth.v005.n035

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.

  Fellow Wolfians:

  Please don't post stuff twice, especially if the
  second posting is HTML-source.  It's ugly and takes
  up space.  Ditto for long quotes, especially quotes
  of the boilerplate at the end of the digest.

  Digest n035 had a couple of examples.  It seems that
  "Jason Voegele" <voegele.6 at osu.edu> has a mailer
  that does this automatically.=20

  Thanks!

  On another matter, Cim Glowing says she is named after
  the "cim glowing on the trees" (approximate quote).

  I can't find "cim" in the local big dictionary.  Any
  ideas what it is?  Wolfe doesn't usually make up words,
  but he does use obscure or archaic ones.  Tonight I'll
  check my wife's OED.
