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.

We were talking about _Short Sun_ over the weekend (NYRSF work weekend just
finished) and I commented that _On Blue's Waters_ might be Wolfe's best
book since _Shadow of the Torturer_. Hartwell responded that _Return to the
Whorl_ might be Wolfe's best book ever.

So I beat him up and stole the manuscripts.=20
