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.

I just bought 'The Avram Davidson Treasury'. One story of this 
collection "Polly Charms, the Sleeping Woman" is introduced by Wolfe who 
writes "Davidson was never one to explain everything. No more am I" 
after which I believe he gives some clues to the story which I haven't 
read yet. The collection is touchingly introduced by Robert Silverberg 
and every story in it by a well known sf writer. I wonder if these 
forewords by Wolfe of which he wrote more than one shed any light on his 
writerly project.
