Newt's main referent

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.

According to http://web2.iadfw.net/tharvia/charts/worldcons.gif,
there have been two Worldcons held in Atlanta. One of them was
in 1986 and so fits pretty well with what you've described.=20

Gingrich's SF novel, 1945, was published in 1995.
