Who else has read IGJ?

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.

I have no desire to see your review (or any) before I read the book,=20
but, as long as you clearly mark it in the subject header I can skip=20
it and save it for later, so post away.

I put in my order about two weeks ago. As far as I am concerned, as=20
long as a suitable label (such as "IGJ Spoilers") is in the subject=20
header of *all* the messages that make up this discussion and it is=20
restricted to the Whorl list, then the discussion can begin right=20
now. I will just save the messages until after I have a chance to=20
read the book (I did this with OBW).

Have fun, you lucky skunks (as Gary Larson of Far Side fame would say).
