Proposed Gene Wolfe Symposium

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.

For your information, I live in a three bedroom house with a big yard
and garden in a very nice, very middle class, very quiet neighborhood.

There are rough neighborhoods in East San Jose,  some of them not too=20

I am sorry. There really is no polite way to say 'fuck you, white boy'.

I am ashamed.

If this thing works at all, it will be done either on a first come,
first served basis, or by a lottery.

In either case you will have the same chance as everybody else to
participate.
