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.

The idea of having the Outsider on the cover of RTTW does not sit well with=20
me at all.  Wasn't there a point in IGJ where the Outsider came to Horn on=20
the mountain top and Horn specifically felt he shouldn't turn around and se=
e=20
his face?  After that, having the Outsider portrayed on the cover of the ne=
xt=20
book as a frumpy-looking giant with a goofy hat just seems wrong.  The idea=
 I=20
get of the Outsider is that one never sees his face, or if one does, it=20
certainly doesn't look like that.  At least, I hope not.
