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.

> PALE FIRE is a masterpiece.

Stipulated with the reservation that I don't personally _like_ it.

> The SUN books aren't Fanfic.

Enthusiastically endorsed.

> Jesus is either God or not.
> The Gospels are either history or not.

Either stipulated or not stipulated.

> "Sirius" is a pun on "serious." I think.
> There is a very large amusement park outside my present lodgings.

I'll happily stipulate that you know what you think and what
is outside your present lodgings.

> Rave On, you crazy Lupes.
This is a Pink Floyd reference?
