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.

(raises a paw)

A wonderful book! It reads like a collaboration between van Vogt
and a writer. The other things I know by Harness are "The Rose"
and, er, you know, that other one with the confused photons.

Spectacled Bear, who enjoys vV really.
