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.

Funny, that parenthetical part was part of an argument I made here years ago
concerning who switched the Christmas gifts at Den's maternal grandfather's
house. There's no way Santa had time to make two trips to the same house
that night.
