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.

So your argument is that the characters who are portrayed on the surface
as paunchy men/women in business suits disguised as the Queen, Hook, and
Wolf are really the Queen, Hook and Wolf disguised, or manifesting
themselves as, paunchy men/women in business suits disguised as the Queen,
Hook, and Wolf?

So where does this leave your earlier contention that "sometimes a pipe is
just a pipe"?
