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.

As I take my user name from the Vance story involved,
I should comment on this Vance DYING EARTH cover
matter. In the very last Dying Earth story, "Morreion"
in RHIALTO THE MARVELLOUS, Rhialto and his fellow
magicians are conveyed across the galaxies by a
so-called Peregrine Palace, owned by Vermoulian the
Dream Walker. This is a kind of science fictional
sortie into Fantasy, as is the city of Ampridatvir in
"Ulan Dhor" (Chapter 5 of THE DYING EARTH), so an SF
cover for TALES OF THE DYING EARTH is not altogether
irrational.
