5HC (again)

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.

Besides, loup would be a dead giveaway, ham handed,
inelegant, and not like GW at all.  They're both canis
which is about as close to obvious as he would ever
seem to get.  And yet vague enough to cause a
discussion.  All for a little pun.  No wonder no one
can sort out the big picture.  Evil.
