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.

D'oh! 
/me is very ashamed, as I think the unhyphenated link leads to a porn site.
Well, I included the relevant quote, so even when the link is obsoleted, 
people could still know what was said, with context as well.

He is also a Frank Herbert fan as well, so I feel a sort of kinship 
learning that he likes Wolfe too. :)
