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.

Gene Wolfe is large.  He contains multitudes.

Seriously, the longer I'm on this list the more I realize how various and
different are the ways people enjoy his writing, some of which don't
overlap much with what I enjoy in his work.   So it's not at all
surprising that we would have a large list of authors each of whom shares
one or two of the long, varied list of virtues we see in Wolfe's work.
