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.

Then again, the first time I read PEACE I thought of it as being a
lot like SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE; that Weir was "unstuck in time" like
Billy Pilgrim of that novel; but that PEACE had a Faulkner flavor to
it.  That is, I didn't grasp that Weir was already long dead--I
thought he might be dying of a heart attack or simply so old that he
lived only in a half-life of random access memories colored by dreams
and fantasies (i.e., that rationalization of Billy Pilgrim's plight).
