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.

Is this an acknowledgement that Quetzal personally
knew Typhon?  You realise you're saying that Quetzal
came from Urth then, and didn't slip onto the Whorl 30
years prior to the start of LS.  I'm not trying to
dredge up the old blushas greeshas blurth blah blee
debate but I would like a clarification. Thanks
