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.

Hey, Endy: even though I haven't read the new Wolfe story, I'm assuming tha=
t=20
the five called time would simply deal with our common representation of th=
e=20
dimensions,(line, square, cube, space, time, etc.) with the fifth dimension=20
labeled as time. (been a while since physics class, though)  Perhaps the st=
ory=20
deals with quantum mechanics and relativity, but since I haven't read it I=20
couldn't help you there.
Marc
