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.

He's supposed to have a new novel out sometime - the last I heard
was that it was to be called Appleseed.

The thing with Clute is (for me anyway), just when I'm ready to throw
one of his reviews across the room, he comes out with something=20
brilliantly perceptive. If he has a review column in Interzone, it's
always the first thing I turn to.

Al, just got his copy of OBW...
