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.

If so I'm not sure I understand the ploy too well - so much of the book is
not in the presence of Horn and would be speculative.  When you say that it
was Wolfe's intention to clue us, was that something that Wolfe has said or
was it a conclusion arrived at in discussions here?  I would like to get at
those archives and read up on this but I keep getting 'the page cannot be
found' when I connect to  http://www.moonmilk.com/whorl/   Am I going to the
right site?  I've only recently joined the list so haven't quite found my
way round yet!

Why couldn't I see that?!

I'll look forward to reading that....
Thanks again
