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.

His stories weren't always my cup of tea, but many were very well
crafted. Good job.

He also wrote a number of interesting and occasionally funny essays.
For example, here is a snippet from "Lone Wolfe: A Self-Conducted
Interview with Gene Wolfe" (1983):
