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.

>>Interesting is hardly the word for Clute's speculation, quoted above. It
don't make no sense! I think it is pretty clear that Horn has visited and
returned from The Whorl already by the time he has written OBW from the
hints contained within. If that is so, then shouldn't the title of the
final book be _Re-return to the Whorl_?<<

What Clute says in his review is

>>because the last volume seems destined to take place after the text of On
Blue's Waters has been fully inscribed<<

He's basically pointing out that Horn is writing "on the run", as it were,
and so we will continue to find out what happens to Horn as he makes his way
back to New Viron from Gaon.
