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.

Have not been following recent discussion much. Have not read "A Fish
Story." But a writer as immersed (so to speak) in sf as GW is, in writing a
story with such a title and with a character named Rob Salmon, would be
pretty clearly referencing (in academe-speech), loudly and directly,
Theodore (Ted) Sturgeon.
