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 also think it is unlikely that wolfe would put himself in the Short Sun
series as the outsider or some such.

BUT: Wolfe is "in" the New Sun, as the "translator" of the manuscript that
severain sent back through the corridors of time. Is there, or will there
be any hint as to how the Long and Short sun books got into Wolfe's hands
to publish for us?=20

There is also the illumiating reversion to Urth-diction that we find in
IGJ.=20
