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.

I can't prove this.

I have read t5hoc a few times but I started reading it
with Google. A perilous venture.
On first reading I thought it 3 stories set in a
double planetary system  and with a few characters and
themes in common... I liked the first one best. I
hadn't read much WOlfe then.
But I felt I had missed something so I re-read it and
was pleased that it revealed more, though I still felt
there were deeper mysteries hidden.
By the third reading I became convinced that this was
not three stories but part of one continuous
narrative.
Now I am losing count... I got to page 9 and then I
had to re-read what I had missed before and for a
while I became stuck as though I had dropped anchor to
find out why I was not moving.

Levi's hypothesis
The matter under discussion is an aleph.
It is concealed in a name.
This is ONE story told in three dissimilar ways.
I cannot prove this, but I shall supply evidence so
that you, dear reader, can make your own mind up on
the case.

The prosecution enters carrying a battered leather
despatch box.
