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.

That reminds me.

Gene Wolfe told me once that Master Ultan was or represented Borges.

I have been wondering for a while now if there might not be
some other writers encoded in there, and specifically if
Baldanders might not be or represent Chip Delany. The notion
just won't go away.
