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.

Roy,

Okay, we have a genuine timeline problem, since O RARE AMANDA was first
published in 1954.

How neat if our best anchor points (like Ludwig's biography of Napoleon)
all come from publishing dates!

Back to Amanda:

>IRENE IDDESLEIGH
>
>DELINA DELANEY
>
>DONALD DUDLEY
>
>FUMES OF FORMATION (poetry)
>
>POEMS OF PUNCTURE (poetry)

These titles all check out.  IRENE was her first book (a savage critique of
it backfired and launched her, in a way), DONALD was aimed at literary
critics, FUMES was her final published work.

I mentioned before HELEN HUDDLESON--it turns out she never finished the
manuscript.

There is also ST. SCANDALBAGS, which slams critics.

Amanda Ros was famous for hating critics and lawyers; thus it makes perfect
sense, seeing as how she wrote DONALD, that she would also pen a book
blasting lawyers.

Hence the rationale for THE LUSTY LAWYER.

Looking over the titles, with an eye toward PEACE (please don't forget that
the =3Donly=3D occurance of the word "peace" in PEACE is in the Ros forgery=
!),
I will admit that I'm a little uneasy about "Delina," since A.D. Weer's
mom's name is Adelina, aka "Della."
