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 have only ever read the first of the Oz books, and really must get round
to reading some of the later volumes in the series.  Motifs from these
works seem to have entered Wolfe's stories by some form of Ozmosis.
