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.

scolex,

That's pretty funny. For those of you who don't have a dictionary at hand
(maybe I shouldn't assume anyone needs one, but I did), here's the def: "The
larva or embryo produced directly from the egg in metagenesis; esp. the
larva or head of a tapeworm or other parasitic worm."

You don't have to be lowercase, you know. Mantis did it to be pretentious,
and I did it out of loyalty to him (because we'd started off together before
we got on the list) but lots don't.

And no matter what some of you may have thought, this has been a
good-natured squabble.
