Interlibrary Loan

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.

Operation ares got clusterfucked by tens of thousands of words. They sure
butchered the last sentence of my story in the Wolfe tribute anthology lol.
Damon knight changed the whole structure of trip trap and Wolfe agreed.
Hartwell left well enough alone.
