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.

[Posted from WHORL, the mailing list for Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun]

oops. Wasn't attempting to give a complete list or ranking, but: I haven't
read TGWoT, Antiquities or Gone, so my ranking of the remaining works would
have to be (in decending order):

Aegypt
Little, Big
Love & Sleep
The Deep
Engine Summer

I had thought that Crowley was as coterie (more so, perhaps) than Wolfe.
Delighted to discover my misapprehension.
