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.

Greetings:

When I read Gaiman's "Coraline" (I think that's how he
spelled it), I was reminded very much of C.S. Lewis.

The same with Pullman and the "Dark Materials" books.
I was reminded of Lewis.

Given some of the comments reported here from those
authors about Lewis, et al, it's kind of interesting
that I got that reaction (I read the books before I
read those comments).
