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, Alga, once again you and I have something weirdly in common, for
5HC was also my first Wolfe, and thereafter I got and read all I could. .net

Me. also.  One thing that sucked me in was the library at the beginning, the
one with the great dome which M Million climbs up, and the pun on Wilhelm's
MILE LONG SPACE SHIP  (this being a future where there really are such
ships).  Trivial, but so charming.  But of coure that is only one little
note in a symphony.  I read it again and again.
