General opinion of Pandora

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.

FWIW, I liked it. I happen to have read it for the third or fourth time just
a couple of months ago. I never thought to compare it to CATCHER, but then I
haven't read CATCHER since the mid-'60s. I don't think GW intended PANDORA
as his version of CATCHER; rather, he just wanted to write something
different, and did it. It wasn't intended as great _Art_. For the rest; what
Nigel said.
