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.

In the 40s/50s, Charles L. Harness wrote a long work eventually known as
THE PARADOX MEN.

Recently I read this novel for the first time.  Right now I'm looking for
folks around here who might have read it.  (I should send a note to Damien
Broderick--I'll bet he has read it!) It seems to have some elements
pointing toward TBOTNS, but aside from that it is a fun read.

If you haven't read it yet, I hasten to add that it is not at all in the
flavor or mode of TBOTNS.  The mode is ala Van Vogt, so if you dislike Van
Vogt, you probably won't like this novel.  I was led to it by reading
Aldiss's SPACE OPERA anthology.
