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.

Didn't realize this was a pep rally for GW where only positive critiques
were acceptab.  Thought it solicited honest opinions of his works and even
his motives.   And if anyone should ask for an apology from me it would be
GW not you mantis.  I said nothing regarding you or your motives.

Enjoy your private mailing list.  I'll stick to the public forums such as
rec.arts.sf.written from now on.
