A question

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.

	I did so too, for the same reason. Maybe I read the books too
quickly the first time, but the characters, particularly the sybils
seemed more vivid the second time around. Of course, some of the
character traits are very distinct, such as Maytera Rose's
judgemental temperament.
