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]

I'd forgotten about Petaja's version.  Ian Watson wrote two books: Lucky's
Harvest and The Fallen Moon, quite recently, based also on the Kalevala.

And welcome to Alastair.  A coincidence that he joins this list just as I
have read his fine SF thriller "A Spy in Europa", the cover story of the Ju=
ne
Interzone.  Nice biter-bit (he-he) ending! =20

I must confess to have missed the Tick-Tock the crest cat reference: and I
read _The Universe Against Her_ not 6 months ago.  But now Mr. Langford
brings it up, I think it must be a little joke of Mr. Wolfe's.  (Similar to
the Vernor Vinge books shelved under W in _Fifth Head_.)
