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.

When I said that Wolfe was a new talent, I was not considering the
novella "The Fifth Head of Cerberus" or any of his fine earlier
work, but the new stuff really makes the old look sick.  Like you,
I read "Cerberus" in high school.

Wolfe seems far better than Tolkien to me.  I think Tolkien is
vastly overrated.
