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.

B,

The "clone wars" were a series of postings, some of them
quite heated, on a propounded theory that Silk was a clone
of Typhon, in itself not utterly imporobable, but then following
with a series of speculations that (for example) Auk was a
clone of ... uh, wossname, the god of darkness ... and eventually
incorporating characters from NS as possible clones of the
Goddam Family (snap, snap).
