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.

:) this is why I find it amusing that when someone says Gene Wolfe,
aside from the other thinker writers that seem obvious to me I think of
Terry Pratchett. I was happy to see someone mention him, even if they
thought the judgment a mistake. I think of Pterry because he's like
Wolfe with a different slant of light. Yet, he employs intricate world=20
building
and has a definite moral stance in his works.
