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.

Jeff is right about the man-apes of the treasure mine being the autarch's to
command -- see the first page of chapter XXXI in CITADEL.

Am I reading you right? Are you seriously suggesting that Inire was working
to prevent the coming of the New Sun?
