mantis reads STRANGE TRAVELERS

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.

Of the suggestiong made the only one that I'm immediately familliar
with is Delany's "Neveryon" storied both begining and ending with
(iirc) "The Tale of Gorgik".

Reading ST I had the thought that the construction _should_ indicate
a circular intent - but then was at a complete loss to see any
circularity in the series of stories which left me rather frustrated
and disapointed.
