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've heard others say that they though that the story petered out in the
third and fourth books.  I think some of this might be attributed, however,
not to a decline in the quality of either the writing or the story, but
rather the reader's desensitivity by this time as he is no longer reeling
from the queerness of the world into which he has been plunged.
