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.

Mr. Robertson,

Many thanks!  Tolkien and Wolfe are without a doubt the two authors who've
resonated most strongly with me over the last 25 years or so, so an essay by
one about the other is a dream come true.  Naturally, when I heard about the
Wolfe article, I looked long and hard for the INTERZONE issue, but was too
late.

Wow!  A very nice article.

Thanks again.


Steve Strickland
