Questions about Book of the New Sun

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.

Yeah like

"Why did I bother to read all the volumes" and

"How come Wolfe's dictionary has got more words in than mine, I'm using 
the Shorter Oxford already, fer crisakes" and

"What was this doing in the Science Fiction section"...
