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.

Well, if it's "just one" I certainly would _not_ pick SotT.

Basic question would be what the membership of the club is
like. If they are comfortable with SF - I mean _really_=20
comfortable with it, people who actually know how written
sf (as opposed to filmic sci-fi) works, then go with 5HC.
If not, I think your best bet is probably _Peace_ (distant=20
second would be _Pandora_, but that might be better for a
group that discusses on the "Oprah's Book Club" level). =20
