Are old questions OK?

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.

Amazon to the rescue:

	"The picture he was cleaning showed an armored figure standing in a 
desolate landscape. It had no weapon, but held a staff bearing a 
strange, stiff banner. The visor of this figure's helmet was entirely of 
gold, without eye slits or ventilation; in its polished surface the 
deathly desert could be seen in reflection, and nothing more."
