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.

>> lots of excellent stuff about _Peace_

Has the gang of three looked into the relationship of the Chinese tale to
the overall story? It seems to me that that story (sorry, I'm at work,
details will be sketchy) provides a possible explanation for Olivia's voice
over the intercom.  That is, just as in the fable, Weer lives or dreams his
entire life, seeing the consequences of the choices he makes, and then at
the end Olivia wakes him to live it all over again as a wiser man.  I don't
see the point of including that story unless it speaks to something else in
the novel, as all the other included tales do.  What is its relevance to the
novel, unless it is that?
