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.

Jason,

FWIW, in that recent People Online Chat, Wolfe seemed to say that Weer
was not a mass murderer.  Which would appear to throw a spanner into
the elaborate machine of "Weer killed every character"; but I haven't
heard anything from the killing machine theoretician(s),
originator(s) of the notion, so I don't really know.

I agree with you re: solipsism and "R.I.P." in PEACE.  Have you
reread "The Changeling" yet?  Set in the same town.
