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've long wished that the best stuff from COTO could be extracted (the
pages of laudatory blurbs could be dropped).  I hope this collection
includes "Books in Book of the New Sun" from PLAN(E)T ENGINEERING, one
of my favorite pieces of "Wolfe on Wolfe".

Do the people at Lingua Franca know about this nascent field of study?
They recently ran an article on P.K. Dick's academic admirers (and
Dick's treatment of them).
