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.

Borges influenced Wolfe in another way. In his Encyclopaedia of Imaginary
Creatures=20
Borges speaks of a world beyond the mirror that plans invasion on our world=
.=20
The first sign of such invasion shall be _a fish that appears in a mirror_.
Also, a beast much like an alzabo is described in that book.
