Get a bigger hamme

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.

Um....well.  Ok, even given that mind-bogglingly unlikely scenario, why
would it be more important that we talk about what Wolfe originally
intended instead of about interpretations sompe people like better than
his original intent?
