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.

Re: Joshua A. Solomon's question on recent the S&SF Wolfe
story...
It's "The Man in the Pepper Mill" in the Oct/Nov issue of last
year. I don't recall a refernce to God's fingers, although the
phrase sounds familiar. It's a very sweet, cute story, but also a
very Wolfe story. While scanning over it loooking for the Holy
Digit reference, I kept thinking about mantis' post about Plato's
cave. There's some of onion-layered reality.

I've set it on my bedside table to read tonight, so I'll let you
know whether or not Gods fingers are mentioned.
