Add Word!

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.

Speaking of "add word," has anyone else noted that Tick's speech is
always perfectly good words?  I think there's one exception that I
remember noticing.  It's amusing that Wolfe can and would produce a
"broken English" entirely out of English words!
