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.

As long as you mean what I think you mean by 'public license', that's
great!  Now I can tell mantis that all he has to do is make a simple
statement, and we'll do the rest, which is a good selling point.

A minor point: is the mantis at siriusfiction.com address still good? Or
am I going to have to send an email to sales at siriusfiction.com, and a
snailmail to Sirius fiction's po box, with a request to forward to
MA-D? Or shall I do all three?
