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.

Sgt. Rock,

Nice to see you again, sir!

You make a good argument wrt Marsch's humanity and villainy, but there's
strong evidence against it, and that is his bright green eyes--the boy and
his mother both have bright green eyes, and that is not a human shade. The
boy also has pale skin and dark hair, as does the Marsch we see.

You could argue against that, of course, by saying that we only have
Marsch's word for that--but then we start going round in circles.
