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.

GW has been producing excellent works for 30 years now
and his writing has deserved the (minute) attention we
give it=3D2E

Who, of the "younger" generation, might compare?

PS - a random rave months ago about Jeff Vandermeer on
this list is much appreciated=3D2E  He's great!

Any thoughts on Steven Erikson or Mary Gentle?
