Good afternoon Urth

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.

At the time I'm reading Porius? by John Cowper Powys and stories by 
Borges and Pierre Michon. Porius is a bit hard to get through. I find 
I'm more appreciative of short stories and essays as I get older. I'm 
reading Azimov's magazine and Interzone and some other magazines on and 
off.? I'm memorizing psalms for a number of years. Usually I read too 
many books at the same time.

I only write when I have to do a paper for an Open University course. 
Never felt much artistic stirring or academic ambition. Always thought 
the best is already written like the Bible or Homer.
