Copyrights R Us

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.

Believe me, I find it equally frustrating that The "New York" Review of SF
can't be purchased off-the-rack in its home state. However, copies are
readily available by mail-order, with no postage charge.

True enough. I wasn't actually terribly upset; I was just bringing people's
attention to the moral questions of the matter.=20

Tell me more. Does Amazons carry magazines? Remind me who Chris Drumm is;
the name is familiar.=20

I have copies of both issues, and I think I even know where they are. Are
these not available from the author? (I got mine from Wolfe many years
ago.) If not, I'll make copies available.=20
