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.

Maybe I should stick to one controversy at a time, but I'm squarely in step
with SBear on that walking tower machine. I hadn't meant to be sarcastic (as
someone seemed to think) when I called them taluses, btw, but had
momentarily forgotten about the caterpillar treads.

As for Vironese names; all I meant is that it can help when there are
duplicate names. We have only one Adam, so that isn't a problem. But I felt
uncomfortable, at least at first, referring to "Borski," while "Robert"
would have been confusing. And two names is too long, especially in the heat
of battle.
